Hi,
Have been running SA on CentOS for a few years now and everything has been
working great. But the powers that be want to move to Exchange so I am trying
to plan a SA frontend that feeds the Exchange server.
As I was thinking over how SA works now and how it might work in the my future
setup, I was wondering how you would feed unmarked spam to the SA frontend?
Since email is passed through to Exchange, it isn't stored on the SA server
anymore like it is now. Or would I be limited to just having SA autolearn?
Henry,
I think this is a fairly common configuration.
You don't say which MTA you are using, but we do this with Exim running
on Solaris.
It is quite trivial to configure Exim to forward mail for our domains to
the Exchange server and send outgoing mail, well, outwards. Exim can
also be configured/compiled to call SpamAssassin and then flag or reject
the email depending on the SA score. You can also add ClamAV (or any
other virus or spam checker) to this mix.
I am sure similar things are possible with your favourite MTA.
