At work I use fetchmail to get my mail and procmail/spamassassin to filter
it. I configure fetchmail to give the mail directly to procmail : this is
rock solid and since 4 years I do that fetchmail/procmail never lost a
single mail, whereas fetchmail/sendmail loosed several principally because
of DNS/domain problems (bad laptop reconfigurations).
The fetchmail configuration is :
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F"
In procmail, never give a big mail to spamassassin, as showned on
spamassasin site (http://spamassassin.org/sitewide.html) because the bigger
the message, the bigger*bigger spamassassin use memory and CPU :
:0fw
* < 256000
| spamassassin
This method is slow, so I don't use any DNS/RAZOR (and I don't always have
access to DNS). But it's really rock solid even with spamassassin that I
discovered 4 months ago.
At home I get my mail through smtp (postfix) and use DNS/RAZOR from
spamc/spamd and it's rock solid too, even if my secondary want to send me
100 messages as quick as possible.
