I'm considering putting a spam filtering on my server.
Which one do you recommend ?
It is a full courier server and I'd like to be able to train the filter by
putting messages on some folder, like Spam, of each imap account. Would
you
recommend bogofilter ? it's the one I'm considering since I'm worried
about
the performance hit of spamassasin.
What performance hit? As long as you use spamd/spamc instead of calling
spamassassin directly, you don't have the perl startup overhead each time.
Spamd runs continuously and scans the files given to it by spamc.
I would recommend SpamAssassin. It is fast, accurate, customizable, and
constantly being updated to catch the latest spams.
Spmasassassin has a fairly large performance impact. I know it has
gotten one of my servers on it's knees. Now given modern hardware and
not to much email, it's entirely workable and works like a charm. If
either of those premisses is not met, better be prepared to do some
tuning. Basically things went better by setting maxdels to 1 in local,
because spamd seems to be more efficient if everything is batched as
opposed to working in parallel.
