Finally I managed to bring my server up to dat regarding spam and antivirus facilities. Most I did was to reconfigure `amavisd-new`__ (which I'm using with `Postfix`__), replace the outdated `OpenAntivirus`__ with `ClamAV`__ and install the newest version of `Spamassassin`__. Beside that I installed `Razor2`__ and integrated it into Spamassassin. As Spamassassin weights Razor2 hits usually only with abou 1 point, I raised that setting to 2.5. Today every of the (non-mailinglist) spam I got was filtered perfectly and I got no false positives. I hope that lasts for the upcoming times to avoid most of the fu\*\*ing spam. The new virus scanner is updated frequently, so my Windoze using friends using that mail server are secured from ugly virii. I plan to migrate my Postfix and Spamassassin settings to MySQL in future. So specialized settings for both can be stored individually for each mailaccount. Especially black and white lists. `SquirrelMail`__ (my webmail system) should support that quite nicely. The only spam issue I did not fix yet is spam along mailinglists. The PEAR webmaster and CVS lists produce spam every day. Through the list system, most headers get fixed and through auto-white-listing of Spamassassin those mails get a positive addition in scoring. If anyone has an (implementable and usable) solution on that, feel free to comment! .. __: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ .. __: http://www.postfix.org .. __: http://www.openantivirus.org/ .. __: http://www.clamav.net/ .. __: http://www.spamassassin.org .. __: http://razor.sourceforge.net/ .. __: http://www.squirrelmail.org/ ..
