Hello all,

About a year ago I set up a mail server on CentOS using this howto:
http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html
I managed to add amavisd-new with clamav and spamassassin.
It runs very well, but it runs on CentOS 5.2, and if I try to upgrade, 
amavisd-new and clamav break.
we are now also at the point where a backup mx will need to be implemented.

If necessary I am willing to implement a new mail server and a new 
backup mx.

What I would like to know is what solution you guys would recommend for 
the mail server and the backup MX?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Coert
    

I would follow the CentOS Wiki HowTo docs for Postfix, which are 
currently maintained for CentOS 5:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos#head-0facb50d5796bee0bd394636c32ffa9a997a6ab5

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd

If things break, report it and I'll fix the documentation. I'm running 
that setup so I do tend to notice when things break.

I've recently updated to the latest amavisd-new, clamav and spamassassin 
- all largely without issue but I would always advise you read the 
release notes and track their respective mailing lists for potential issues.

  
+1 - I use this setup on a number servers / domains - it just seems to work - thanks for keeping this current.
