If you want more aggressive spam filtering, perhaps you should investigate a better wrapper (I use MailScanner but my guess is that mime-defang and amvaisd-new are quite capable), implementing more spam features (DCC, pyzor, DNSBL, etc.) - greylisting (http://www.greylisting.org) I use postfix, greylisting, MailScanner with spamassassin & clamav, and sieve filters (cyrus-imapd) and get pretty good control. Probably the most significant things I do is to have a fairly comprehensive smtp_helo/smtp_sender checks in postfix and greylisting which gets all the low hanging fruit so I am not sucking massive cpu power on the rest of the checks mandated by MailScanner ---- > i am having a hard time finding it googling (other than Bayesian filters) > and i just need some searching help or direction to find so i can study up > please? ---- http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ ---- > > and thing is, ummmm im willing to use sendmail yet i want my customers to be > able to admin their own virtual mailservers with a web interface... what is > everyone using there??? sendmail and ??? or qmail and ??? ---- on servers that provide smtp for domains...probably 60% sendmail, 35% postfix, 5% other - just a wild guess - no empirical data whatsoever.
