My laptop is basically a one-user system, and still I use spamassassin. Indeed, I'm pretty sure that it's too much of a processor hog to be good for many-user systems. When you get up to that many users, I believe something like a Barracuda appliance starts to kick in: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/news_and_events/index.php?nid=43 Procmail and spamassassin work fine together. You basically just tell Postfix (or whatever your MTA is) to filter all incoming messages through procmail. Then you include a recipe in procmail that looks like so: :0fw | spamc which filters the message through spamassassin and picks up the output on the other end. Then you add in another rule that says something like :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes spam I.e., "If spamassassin labeled it spam, send it off to my spam folder." There are more complicated routes, but that's basically the idea. -- Stephen R. Laniel steve@laniels.org +(617) 308-5571 http://laniels.org/ PGP key: http://laniels.org/slaniel.key
