 | View Full Version : Stopping spam at server Furton 09-16-2002, 02:02 PM Latley I've been recieving around 30-40 spam mails a day coming through my e-mail account and I would like to know if there's anything I can install on my server (Dedicated RH 7.2) to stop spam mail before it reaches me as it's taking ages to download it all. jimroe 09-16-2002, 02:07 PM You should take a good look at Spamassassin, which can do just as you want. mwatkins 09-16-2002, 04:09 PM Another vote for SpamAssassin. gnuguy 09-16-2002, 04:29 PM Another vote for Spamassassin.

Either MAPS RBL (http://www.ordb.org/) or ORDB (http://www.ordb.org/). nethosting 09-16-2002, 06:50 PM how do u setup SpamAssassin with sendmail? i thought it wasnt possible?
