Spam blocking on mail server

Street · 3 May 2008 at 19:16

Am just in the process of setting up a new CentOS server for mail and domain hosting and was looking into spam blocking.

I have read about Spam Assasin, Mail Scanner and ASSP but am not sure which one is the best one to use!

Would it be advisable to install ClamAV with one of those for best protection?

Any advice welcome!

I've just installed MailScanner and SpamAssassin.. Going to install ClamAV shortly and have a play with them.

Hmm.. Need to set up a chroot jail for Postfix to get MailScanner to work.. How do I do that?

I didn't need a chroot jail in the end.. Its working perfectly as it is!

Set the server going live today with some proper domains on and did some tests with the GFI email test. Seems a hell of a lot better than our old server!

Just going to have to spend a bit of time tweaking some of the config files now..

Care to share how you set it up? I think i'm going to do the same on a CentOS 5 dedicated web server i have.
