Hello all,
I've been trying to get spamassassin and clamav working, but got
really confused when I realized there are various incarnations of the
software. Originally, I started out with just spamassassin, but
learned there is also an SA-milter. Can someone tell me which of the
various spam fighting packages i.e., sa, sa-milter, clamav,
clamave-milter, and so forth? I ran into problems with one package
with the system not being able to open a socket, so I just gave up. I
hope I'm not too vague here, but essentially, I just would like to
know what the milter part does, and if that's the way to go, or the
non-milter versions.
I'm subscribed via digest, and if it's not too much trouble, I'd
appreciate a cc direct to me. Many thanks..
depending on your MTA (postfix, sendmail, ...) or your MDA (maildrop,
procmail, ...), there are various ways to integrate spamassassin:
- a proxy. an example is amavisd-new (it calls SA internally, so you
don't need to run spamd)
- a milter, if your MTA supports milters (sendmail and postfix do) and
you are confortable with this.
- a program or script calls "spamc" and you have spamd running
- a program calls spamassassin (not recommended, except for testing and
debugging)
- other
