Re: [SAtalk] using spamd/spamc to reject SMTP connection

[Patrick Morris]

In most cases I can think of, spamc doesn't get the message until after 
the connection is already finished.  A milter is the only way I can 
think of you can get a result from SA before Sendmail's finished 
receiving the mail, and all the milters I'm aware of are capable of just 
the sort of behavior you're describing.

I just installed SpamAssassin and got it working, but it just drops or marks spam after it has already accepted it.  While this /dev/null type behavior is great, I would rather discourage spammers by refusing the connection period.
