Title: Simulate Spam
Post by: Bill Pflaumer on July 23, 2003, 04:27:02 AM

I have been reading the forums about using Spamassin as the front end for Exchange. I have not Installed Spamassin yet, but is there any way to simulate SPAM. I would like to run a 'load test' to see how well it performs. Secondly, will the available Spamassin rpms run on SME 6B2.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

You can add a fake senders address to spamassassins black list eg spammer@spamdomain.com and then setup that account in your email client (using your real ISP details) with that return address. Then send some email, it will all be identified as spam.

Don't know about v6b2, download it and try it out with spamassassin !!

I had problems loading some packages into V6b2, although I think that the problem was to do with incompatibility between the custom Server Manager panels and the new panel layout in V6. to get round the difficulties I loaded V5.6U4 and then set up all of my addon packages, before updating to V6b1 and updating again to b2. All of the packages continued to work perfectly, and the user-manager panel incompatibility simply produced non-formatted control layouts, which, however, work perfectly.

The addon packages I have loaded are...

Dungog Pop3s and pre-filter
User manager
Spamassassin
Hylafax
Twiggi
