Re: "Dear Customer" spam in the BTS



What about spamassassin? Wouldn't spamassassin and its databases not be the 
better way? I made good experiences with spamassassin on my mail servers. 

My configuration was a little bit weired, I admit. As I was using spamassassin 
and clamav together, it was very effective. Note, that I never used amavis, 
which most people are using this way. In my configuration besides of strict 
postfix rules,  I piped everything first through spamassassin (with bogofilter 
and all the other good stuff), and then what was not rejected by spamassassin 
through clamav - directlly from spamassassin's output into clamav input - no 
amavis.

This worked very well after a good learning phase. 

But I guess, you are doing this already. If so, just aplogize my noise.

Happy hacking!
