RE: SPAM filter...

["Wayne S. Ackley" <wackley () ideorlando org>]

Happy Holidays!

We use this same setup in our facility
(RedHat,postfix+amavis-new+spamassassin). And we use ClamAV as our
anti-viral scanner and DOVECOT as our IMAP/POP3 service. Everything updates
itself and keeps out most of the B.S. (I have the same setup at home, took
me a weekend to install and "tweak" to my liking.)

For your situation, just GOOGLE spamassassin and solaris. Here's a
preliminary link to help:

Good luck!

u can use a combinaison of  postfix+amavis-new+spamassassin.

spamassassin accurate enought to be run in a production environement.

postfix have a feature to prevent DoS and it can be used to solve your
problem. you define a soft and hard error limit, if the soft limit is
reached, the server will sleep n seconds (n is the error count) and
when reaching the hard limit the server drop the connexion
you can specify also a sleep time between each error before reaching the
soft limit

you can alsa use an antivirus scanner whith amavis-new if you have one,
amavis support a lot of them
