Personally I like to use Mimedefang - it's a milter that runs under sendmail and will run spamassassin as well as any of a number of virus filters. It's very flexible and pretty fast (I run it on a mail server with 6000 users and it holds up pretty well. THere are a number of other such beasts available - if you just want to run spamassassin you could install spamass-milter, which will just put spam markings into your email. Then your users can set up filters on the IMAP server to do something useful with the markings - put the mail into the Spam filter, or throw it away if the score is really high (though I never do that myself). I believe there is some info on the spamassassin site on how to set up a site-wide spamassassin implementation. I'd look at Mimedefang if you want a lot of power, and at spamass-milter if you just want something simpler. I'll see if I can dig up a couple of better pointers in the morning > > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > -- Steve Hanson Cruiskeen Consulting http://www.cruiskeenconsulting.com
