Genuinely interested as we could certainly get better spam filtering... just becaus eit is the only way where you can *block and reject* spam instead still deliver it with a special subject http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html without a milter your only choices are: * deliver crap * get a backscatter and get blacklisted * drop messages while pretend you accepted them and go to jail "-r 6" = reject with a score of 6 and bigger spamass-milter -p /run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock -g sa-milt -r 6 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alexander Dalloz" <ad+lists at uni-x.org> > To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos at centos.org> > Sent: Monday, 11 August, 2014 5:01:16 PM > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Use postfix and spamd on CentOS 6 - looking for a shortest guide > > Am 2014-08-11 13:38, schrieb Alexander Farber: >> Hello fellow CentOS-users, >> >> on the net there are lots of Spamassassin related HOWTOs - describing >> how >> to create a shell script for Postfix and how to install Spamassassin >> and >> start its spamd daemon - step by step.
