-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After having successfully integrated spamassassin via procmail to my home based mailserver i've started corresponding with my parents' university, regarding filtering in their facilities.
In my dad's department there's a SunOS mailserver, which does the filtering okay so far, in testing conditions with a dusty version of sa. The problem is that due to security policies sa is limitied to local tests only. I was wondering about the effectiveness of running a pyzor or dcc server on the local network, when the user base is only 500 or so. The number might grow to around 3-4k, should the solution escape the math/cs department (the numbers include many dead student accounts, but i reckon they might receive spam too). i'm not sure wether security will permit, but they do have a publicly open machine set up as a peer (or however you define members in hosts.equiv), which i reckon could host a dcc server, acting as a sort of proxy, if you will. flooding with other servers is probably better than nothing, but will still suffer from latency issues, i guess. Another idea is to use some kind of hack to split up the clients into two parts, a client and server model, via some kind of tunnelling mechanism, such as netcat. This will allow the clients to ultimately run on a machine open to the outside world. Last but not least is the option to run spamd on the already busy external server. This is probably the most advantegeous, but hardest administratively. The technical aspect, however, should be seamless, as homedirs are nfs mounted and thus the user_prefs et all should be the same. has anybody had any experience with these systems? any caveats i've missed?
