Hello all,

My message could be a little oftopic here, but i ask because there are other peoples which use the same or almost the same config as me. So, i am using postfix-2.x + mysql + smtp-auth via pam_maysql + maildrop as LDA and for extended quota support. All is working fine and all configurations are virtuals (no shell acounts, only sql users), multiple virtual domains, etc.

Can anyone suggest me a good howto about how to add to my present config spamassasin? I read good things about spamassasin. So, how can i itegrate it keeping my current configuration... I read the install doc found on spamassasin source code, but is not expalined to much about my sql needs.

Have you considered Dspam? It's relatively unknown, but I'm finding it incredible--and it plugs straight into your system. All you have to do is configure postfix to deliver to Dspam, configure Dspam to deliver to Maildrop, set up a token database in MySQL, and optionally set up a CGI script to view the quarantine (optional because you can also have Dspam just add a header, like SpamAssassin).

I've tried SpamAssassin in the past, but found it a bear to keep up to date, especially managing a mix of virtual and local users, and it caught way too many false positives. I've also tried Bogofilter, but it seemed to decline in effectiveness after a few weeks.

I've been using it for a little over a month. It's consistently catching 90% of my spam, with no false positives since the first week. And I'm still in the training period...
