Fairly-Secure Anti-SPAM Gateway Using OpenBSD
This document describes using OpenBSD with Postfix, Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin, Vipul's Razor and DCC to setup a spam-blocking email gateway. It incluces runnning all network processes in a restricted-user/chroot environment. The article gives step-by-step directions including upgrading OpenBSD and installing ports. The following is a short quote from the very lengthy document: Amavisd-new is the main filter which processes email from postfix and ensures that we don't lose any mail. Amavisd-new is an huge improvement over the original amavis which was a simple virus scanner, and I think it is the best way of implementing SpamAssassin. SpamAssassin is the main anti-spam component which works by comparing messages to a ruleset and by using a statistical analysis that is custom built based on your email. In addition to the SpamAssassin spam detection software, we will be using 2 online SPAM databases: DCC and Vipul's Razor. Read it at http://lawmonkey.org/anti-spam.html.
