New setup... What antispam/antivirus to use?

[chatwizrd]

Hi. I just setup a new server but I want dependable antispam and antivirus with users having control over black and white lists. Which setup should I use?

Please provide any instructions or link to another thread if possible.

Thanks

DA comes with SpamBlocker and with SpamAssassin, but not with any anti-virus solution.

See these forums for information on SpamBlocker and on SpamAssassin. You should probably update to SpamBlocker Version 2 if your server isn't using it yet, as SpamBlocker Version 1 whitelisting didn't work consistently.

You can find posts on these forums for anti-virus solutions; none of them are inherently compatible with SpamBlocker.

We'll be releasing a free and open-source VirusBlocker solution for DA early in the new year.

I've been trying to persuade Chirpy from the forums for the other control panel I use to convert his system over - it uses open source software in an excellent configuration to be incredibly effective...

No joy so far

Unless he's already written it for exim, it could be a bit of work; exim is extremely good, and once you learn it it's incredibly versatile, but it's very different.

That's the beauty - it's already using exim, spamassasin, mailscanner, clamav and a few other things like that. It's got a useful admin tool - mailwatch and a customer config panel (which could so easily be a plugin for DA.

ClamAV + Exiscan(Exim) = Email Antivirus

For antispam we just use Spamassassin for tagging spam which comes with DA. We prefer to give the decision to the end email user by simply tagging and if they do not like false postives they can simply not use it.
