    Guys,

    I've setup the following, which I call SpamSnake.

    The Perfect SpamSnake – Postfix w/Bayesian Filtering and Anti-Backscatter (Relay Recipients), Apache, Mysql, Bind, MailScanner (Spamassassin, ClamAV, Pyzor, Razor, DCC-Client), MailWatch, SPF, FuzzyOCR, PDF/XLS/Phishing Sanesecurity Signatures, Postfix-gld (Greylisting Optional), Logwatch Statistical Reporting(Optional), Outgoing Disclaimer with alterMIME (Optional)

    It serves as a mail gateway, between the inet and my Exchange 2003 Server. It can be used for both inbound and outbound emails.

    I was considering adding Rulesdujour to it, but read somewhere that sa-update replaced it. Can someone please verify this?

    Thanks,

    Rocky

    Yes, RulesDuJour is deprecated, sa-update is now the preferred way.

    Have you thought about writing a tutorial about this? :)

    I would certainly like to see a guide on this too as a client of ours exchange server is processing tens of thousands of spam a day and the performance impact is huge.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I used quite a few bits and pieces from the tutorials that you guys already have. THANKS HOWTOFORGE.

    I have documented my install and will certainly send it to anyone who wants it. I am currently revising it and as soon as I'm done, I will send it out.

    If anyone is interested, you can pm me.

    Thanks,

    Rocky

    Falko,

    I sent you a copy of my tutorial. Please have a look at it and let me know if anything can be improved or if anything needs to be taken out.

    Any improvements would be greatly appreciated.:)

    Update: My tutorial has now been updated to Ubuntu 8.04 with MailScanner 4.68.8.

    Regards,

    Rocky
