Hello mailing list. My first post, nice to meet you all. I'm setting up a Spam&Virus mail firewall (forwarding only). This is a MX only server, it has no pop3/imap, it's only purpose is to clean mail and route it to the next server which then delivers it to imap accounts. For this purpose I am considering Postfix, as I am familiar with it. I am hoping to get some information/suggestions on how to do this in a way that is fast,secure, easy to add /domains users and stable. I need the option to have user specific settings, some domains wants to route all spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED], specific domains want to delete (if SA tags the mail that is over a certain limit) and some to tag SPAM in the subject header. I am very interested in storing the domains in SQL or LDAP rather then text files. Does somebody know the performance loss/gain on sql versus text file when dealing with thousands of domains with users. Also I am interested in statistics on how many mails pass and how many gets tagged if this is available somewhere.
A lot of question for a first post, I am hoping for a positive answer. Kind Regards Paul Tenfjord
