Topic: More ASSP + smtpfront-qmail

[ntblade]

Hi Folks,
I've been blocking some of my spam using the Spam blocking with smtpfront-qmail by Ray Mitchel.  Nice one Ray, thanks.  The trouble is that I'm still getting spam, some of which is the usual offensive stuff so I installed ASSP using Darrell May / Gene Cooper's howto - Thanks.

I didn't know how the two anti spam solutions would interact with each other so I installed ASSP to see.  ASSP seems to be working OK but after thinking about this some more and searching the forums it seems to me that ASSP will stop smtpfront-qmail from checking the Realtime Black Lists (RBLs).

thanks NickR.
yes, assp redirecting passed mail from 25 port to 127.0.0.1:125 and rblsmtpd did't requests to rbl-bases, so /var/log/smtpfront-qmail/current has no entries of rblsmtpd with logs.

So, does anyone know how to get the two solutions working together?

I think that the first process should be done by smtpfront-qmail to query the RBLs then ASSP should actually check the mail for spam content.
Does this make sense?
Does anyone already have this working?

Many thanks for your help
Norrie

You could enable spamassassin and let it filter any spam thats get through rblsmtpd. Spamassassin does not conflict with rbl blocking.

Thamks for your reply Ray,
Now,...  Can you or anyone else recommend which contrib / Howto I should follow to install SA?  I would prefer to be able to configure it via a manager panel as well.

Thanks again,
N.
