I spent a few weeks this past fall trying to configure spamassassin to be useful, but I was getting up to 30 pieces of spam a day and it was getting obnoxious. I configured my setup to use greylisting and it wound up being significantly more effective. I get maybe one piece of junk a week.

- blfr 12y agoI only greylist messages which get at least one point from SpamAssasin. That way obvious ham is delivered immediately.
- jlgaddis 12y agoI'd like to do that, but greylisting is typically done at the SMTP level -- before the messages are anywhere close to SpamAssassin. Can I ask how you're accomplishing this?
- mike-cardwell 12y agoYou can run SpamAssassin at SMTP time in the DATA phase. At least, you can with both Exim and Postfix. I assume other MTA's support that too. You can run Greylisting at the same stage after SpamAssassin has been run and before the message has been accepted.
- dmoo 12y agoHave a look at assp, complex set-up but very powerful. http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/
- jlgaddis 12y agoThanks, the web interface for that looks pretty nice but it'd take too much to move our mail systems to that.
