Hi,

I am fairly new to the email environment (at least to the
administration of it). I have recently inherited an email system that
has developed a somewhat unfavourable reputation with some of the
anti-spam sites. I have been trying to address this through the use of
spamassassin and amavis with some success. Success in the sense that
spam is no longer entering our system. However it is still being
passed through.

My first question is how do I configure postfix to send all outgoing
mail through amavis?

We can police this to some extent by identifying the users who are
originating the spam and adding them to a blacklist. But our problem
is confounded by the large numer of 3G and GPRS users that we support.
Many of these simply use our smtp server as an 'open relay' to
braodcast mail. Our server is not really 'open' in that only user with
3G/GPRS accounts can access it, but it is extremely difficult to
identify the source of the connection in real time. What I really want
to do is perform spam filtering on all mail that passes through our
relay, this will allow us to keep life simple for users (no
authentication beyond having a valid 3G/GPRS account) and yet prevent
us from polluting the internet with spam. I am sure that it is
possible to configure postfix to do this and that it is just my lack
of experience in this field that is preventing me from seeing ths
solution.

Any pointers/tips/etc. gratefully considered.

TIA

mike
