Hi,

I'm getting spammed to death.  I'm running sendmail and ClamAV.

Is there a way of filtering mail by keyword? I seem to get a few particular emails from different sources, but they are
all the same messages.

Thanks
Todd


Spamassassin is the way to go, but make sure you use sa-update to update the rules on a daily basis. In addition you may want to consider the "FuzzyOCR" plugin which will (help?) stop the annoying image spam (I haven't seen one of those in months).

Be forewarned, spamassassin can be a memory pig, I start it with the following command:

/usr/bin/spamd -c -m 20 -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid

Right now there are three spamd processes running each using roughly 80Meg of memory for a total of ~240Meg. If I start getting a lot of incoming email the number of processes will climb and so will the memory usage.
