Topic: Clam-av and RBL lists vs Clam-av and Spamassassin

[griznik]

hi folks.

i'm wondering about the merits of running clam and RBL on the SME 6.0.1-1 server instead of clam and spamassassin. i followed the how to and everything appears to have gone well but my question is:

spamassassin is not set to run so is it safe to believe that it will not interfere with the clam and RBL configuration?

thanks for and and all responses.

You can quite happily run all three together without any issues.

Or more specifically it is OK just to run Clam & RBL blocking, you do not need to enable spamassassin unless you feel you want or need to.

Running RBL blocking will reject quite a lot of SPAM - however I am finding that alot still gets thru. Spamassassin gets that little bit more and I vet the rest.

Out of interest, what RBL lists are you using ?
