We use SA, ClamAV, Razor, Pyzor, DCC, etc. with amavis-new and Maia Mailguard. Maia is a great way to imitate some of the big expensive spam filters out there. It gives users a web front end for managing their spam and even their spam score limits. It may be a little more than what you want to give your users, but none the less its a great admin tool for a network admin trying to stop spam. In my case, I can go to the users that are getting the most false negatives and specifically tell Maia that this is spam, NOT ham.... now train bayes. That to me is an awesome tool. We also have a spam inbox setup, but nobody uses it and still wants to complain about getting spam. Check it out, their web server always seems to be down so look at the Google cached version if you can't get their.

The original amavis is not well supported AFAIK. However, it has a descendant amavisd-new which is actively developed and supported. <http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/> I don't know mailscanner, but amavisd-new is a much more efficient approach for a mailserver, especially at ISP level. The two main differences are 1) Spamassassin (and clamav) get run once per incoming mail, not once for every recipient, and 2) amavisd-new runs as a daemon, so Spamassassin only has to be compiled in Perl once instead of once per incoming message. > Anyone who uses above solutions? *Lots* of mailservers use amavisd-new, including many ISPs and 3rd party mail providers, FWIW. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services I did write it and can't remove it for policy reasons..... preciate the flack though!
