Hi

Can anyone recommend any anti-spam software for use on a Linux Fedora
Core 3 mailserver (hosted by FastHosts)?

Background
We do quite a lot of our own emailing to a database of about 70,000
users
so need a mailserver that can handle quite high volumes.

We also have a lot of our staff operating remotely so we want a mail
server
that sits on a reasonably fast pipe for all users to get at. Also it
would be
better for security reasons NOT to have our staff getting their email
from
our internal LAN...

- Any recommendations?

Spam******in it a quite good one, can be used together with an MTA or stand alone.

If you don't find it on the CDs, then get it from here
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...&system=&arch=

Make a bet with them for US$1000 and then ask them to go to the following url
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub...0.0-3.i386.rpm
and they get the official RPM that is included on the install CDs, don't
forget to collect your US$1000 :P

The current version is this one:
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub...2.fc3.i386.rpm

My recommendation would be to use Spam******in, with at least the
following options/extensions:

* Baysian scanning
* Razor 2
* Pyzor
* DCC
* SURBL

I'd also recommend AmavisD-new, which is a sort of gateway between common
Linux mail servers (you didn't mention what SMTP server you use!) and many
common anti-virus/anti-spam systems. Personally I use AmavisD-new with
Spam******in and Clam Antivirus both at work and at home. I've also
configured my mail server (Postfix) to use a handful of DNS black hole
services before the message even hits AmavisD-new. I'm getting about a 3%
false negitive and negligable false positive rate at work; and about 98.5%
false negitive, negligable false positive at home.
