Hi,

What is todays most effective combination to filter spam ?

On my old Redhat 3 system I used Sendmail and Spamassasin .. it was good, but with the current setup we are getting way to much spam.

have you considered using geo-blocking in concert with SpamAssassin and the Sendmail MTA? Works wonders and as such doesn't require as much attention to the SpamAssassin rules because you're not getting as much shit to deal with, therefore you're not spending as much time adjusting and adding rules to SA.

I.e. if a business in Pennsylvania only does business in the lower 48 there isn't any need to accept port 25 traffic from Asia, Europe, Latin America, etc...
