[nflug] fried spam

My old personal favorite was a project called Vipul's Razor. It used a hash lookup to see if other users had reported that same message to central database; worked pretty well and was easy to integrate with any server back end. I used this on sendmail in conjunction with the spamhaus filters like you said and it was not bad. 

My new favorite is Zimbra, which AFAIK is just postfix with a java front end, bundled with amavisd (plus spamassassin) as the other guys suggested. I'm very happy with the spam control in Zimbra and it "just works" right from day one, so take that as a vote for amavisd.

Subject: [nflug] fried spam

Greetings,

I know there are two options to handle spam either automatically or 
manually (by an email user).

I'm sure using both options reduce spam the best, but I was wondering 
which of two options would be best to implement first.

So far I'm using Postfix for my mail server, and have done some 
spamhause etc... stuff to take care of know spammers and thats been 
working great.

I'm very open to any new ways to handle spam on the system side and user 
side.  I'm using a web mail called horde which is programmed in php and 
can send unwanted "spam" to a program for processing.

My email server will never have more than 100 users.

Are any of you using a system for spam handling that you really like?

Thanks for your input,
ERic
