Mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package

marcelloc

Go on postfix antispam tab and enable mailscanner integration.

Mailwatch and quarantine tab are on my mind, it will take some time, but its on my todo list.

How would this compare versus establishing a Windows 2010 Edge Transport mail server in a dmz to filter spam to the Hub Transport?

OT but my experience of any Windows anti-spam filtering (forefront im looking at you) fails dismally.

I have already selected "Third part Antispam Settings > Software > Mailscanner + Spamassassin + clamav" but still doesn't appear in logs that any message it's checked for spam/virus.

I always download last version of i386 pc version, and even if i install postfix forwarder first or mailscanner first, i end up with errors that can't find some files or some errors in different config files etc. Usually i fix them step by step.

Should i try amd64 version? Did you work more at that version then i386?

Thank you very much. And you are doing a great job with this antispam filter, i hope soon it will be full functional.

Do you have this options on your current version?

files.pfsense.org are offline, if you tried installing it today, that's why you found missing files.

Take a look on features that postfix, mailscanner, spamassassin has to block spam.

Here are some options you can configure:

spf lookup
anti zombie daemon
strong header verification
only process valid exchange recipients
Rbl checks before message body transfer
phishing scan
Bayes,ryzor,pyzor,dcc scans
acls to deny or reject messages based on headers, subject, body, attachments, etc
message content protection(mcp) features to protects company's data
web bugs message scan

I have no idea about microsoft antispam features. I use a unix server in front of exchange server for about 10 years.

likewise, actually close on 15 years now. The reason I mention this is because a fairly large hosted exchange environment required a unix layer to handle the spam as the MS portion was just not cutting it.

Hi all,
version 0.2.1 of mailscanner is out.

I too am having problems with the current version ( 4.83.5 pkg v0.2), the GUI does not reflect the newer version you have released, where might i install this from using pkg?

thanks,
greg

There is a post from Jimp saying that there is problem on replication to production server.

The solution is just wait. :(
