Reducing Spam on VPS

[zetec452]

Hello,

I've recently decided that I wanted to play with Linux and use a VPS to host my email and website. Everything is working sweetly except for the amount of spam coming through the system. I'm running postfix in which I'm aware has some anti spam measures.

I'm only running a few email addresses and didn't particularly want to put anything to heavy on VPS. Are there any effective lightweight anti spam tools I should perhaps look into? SpamAssassin is one i imagine?

I've got spamassassin and greylisting (GLD). The greylisting has cut down the spam remarkably and anything that does get through then goes through spamassassin (although it's now very little)
All this is tied into postfix too, and scanned with clamav.

cheers Chris, in the end I opted for google apps as its free and the spam protection works. .
