Check the mailing list archives. If you have a spare reliable PC, you can build a secure, spam-filtering mail relay to pre-filter internet traffic to your Exchange server using Sendmail+MimeDefang+SA or Postfix+Amavisd+SA. This is a common question, it may be a FAQ but I'm dead sure this has been discussed on this list in last three months. > > I don't know why you are saying that SA does not filter e-mails, I does > > !!

Read the documentation on how to use whitelist_from and whitelist_from_rcvd. whitelist_from_rcvd is most likely what you want. Your whitelist will need to go in a user_prefs file or local.cf; not sure where those are located on Win32 (are you running SA under Cygwin?) > SA does have the ability to filter (block/discard) if so configured.. > basically by just setting SA to delete any incoming scanned msg with a > score of 5+ (default score level). <sigh> No, SA itself does not, cannot block or discard mail, but it may provide scoring information for other tools that block or discard mail (e.g. procmail, milters, etc.) Think of SA as the judge and jury, some other tool as the executioner. SA just renders an opinion and files the paperwork. Something else pulls the trigger. > As far as setting up a whitelist, on a win32 implementation of SA, read > the SA docs, and/or visit some sites with configuration information. If you don't find your answer in the docs, the FAQ, or the mailing list archive, you've either got an interesting question or you're not trying hard enough. :) -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
