Quick Robin, to the BatBook!

OK, so Sendmail is hard to configure, it makes life difficult and it's not as flouncy as postfix, but I love it. It really makes you work for your lunch, but you feel so much more when you actually get what you want working.

I have been working with SpamAssassin for quite a while, however it doesn't integrate well into Sendmail. That was, of course, until spamass-milter came along.

Using spamass-milter, you get the same level of funtionality with spamassassin that you do when you use MTA's such as postfix. You can check mail on a site wide basis and reject mail at the server end if it scores over a certain number of hits.

I have packaged the tool up into a debian package (see below) to use in my installations.

The program is available from here or for those of us who use Debian, you can use

deb http://bandcamp.tv/ stable main

in your sources.list.

Note : Debian Sarge now has an official spamass-milter package, I'd suggest using that one!
