What makes Postfix superior in fighting spam?
I actually made two independent statements:
1. That I use postfix forever (postfix was written by Wietse Venema with security in mind).
2. That the company the OP works for judging from my reading of OP's post makes money by facilitating the creation of spam (by their customers).
By no means I meant to say posfix is superior to sendmail in fighting spam. Neither of them is designed for fighting spam, each of them is merely MTA. Postfix, however, having human readable configs with rather logical logics makes it easier (for me) to administer, therefore easier (for me again) to integrate with anti-spam components (amavisd, spamassassin, clamav - the last to scan for viruses - or rather virii I should say as that is plural of latin word ;-)
Just my $0.02.

How do I integrate MIMEDefang, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV with Postfix? Are there migration guides for moving one's Sendmail anti-spam and AV configurations to Postfix?

I don't know about MIMEDefang but SpamAssassin and ClamAV are pretty straight forward. There are guides for both with Postfix all over the net.
MIMEDefang I have not heard of, but unless it does something really funky I suspect it also is easy to set up with Postfix. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
