[Dovecot] dovecot + antispam + sendmail
Whats a good antispam solution? I am using sendmail and dovecot 1.1. I came across dovecot's antispam plugin, but it seems it does not support 1.1 yet. I am also looking for something non-perl based.
I am already doing some greylisting with sendmail milter.
Any other good suggestions? If not, I guess I might have to downgrade back to 1.0 dovecot.
Thanks
I suggest greylist and antivirus/antispam in the MTA instead of MDA/MUA... just ensure all will pass through the milter..
e.g. milter-greylist, spamassassin, spamass-milter. clamav/clamd, clamav-milter are all default package u can find in the latest CentOS/Fedora. Implementation.. my new server (CentOS) is setup 2 days ago.. this part used < 30 mins to complete.. perhaps because I play with it before so no problem...

Spamassassin is perl based, so anything other than that?? I want something that is non perl based.

<grin> and what else? should its code not contain while loops nor underscores? don't get perlers to hate you;-p </grin>
both dspam and bogofilter are written in C. These are statistical filters that you'll have to train (correctly). They have their own lists should you have any questions...

I recommend dspam but you have to train it, I usually use spamtraps addresses for such job. I like spamassassin but 95% of it job in my site is bayesian that's why I like dspam too.

That's not good enough :)
- you need ham as well
- spamtrap as a spam corpus is only ok if the recipient gets similar spam.

Sure thing, spamassassin doing this out of box ;), dspam need little more configuration to have ham automatically learned.

MailScanner is great! But it is for stopping spam BEFORE it gets to the point that dovecot would need to handle it.
Dealing with spam at dovecot's level is sort of like locking the barn after the horse is gone.
MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

I suggest looking into MPP (Message Processing Platform) at http://
www.raeinternet.com/ It's been running famously here for a couple
of YEARS!

It should be fairly easy to port based on the quota plugin, all you need to port is the storage file.
