Assp vs spamassassin software#

Creating this little script took quite a bit of trial and error before I got what I wanted, but now that this is in place it works really well.

I did go through the trouble of creating a custom lua script and a 'forced action' to make messages with very high Bayesian confidence scores disregard all other classifications (a few legitimate messages still score pretty high after max Bayes points have already been deducted and increasing those points only works so far the inverse goes for the occasional spam message).

If you are the kind of person to always install the latest version as soon as it is released you will have to watch out for the occasional regression, but once I tackled some initial hurdles things started working really well after a short training period. There are hundreds of configuration options and the documentation is not exactly always the best I have ever seen, but as a whole it is also very flexible. You will probably have to tune it according to your wishes before it does what you need. The commercial products are not better than the open source ones in this space. Understand the ramifications of greylist before you enable it.

This is the best.īetter greylisting software with pre-loaded whitelists and auto-whitelisting features will REJECT 19 out of 20 spams, and delay less than 2% of legit emails. Both standards-compliance tests and postscreen RBL tests. If you are running a decent MTA like Postfix, you can REJECT incoming junk that's *obvious* spam before it even hits disk. All of their tests are scored against a big corpus of spam (and ham) to see how accurate they are, and receive a weight based on their performance. It does about 1000 different checks including keywords, spf, dkim, rbls, baysian text analysis, etc. Because your simple keyword filter silently dropped his emails to you on the floor. Imagine your boss furious with you because he's been mailing you every day about the shitty viagra ads that he's getting and you haven't responded to one of them. They always end up biting you in the end. Don't create naive, ad hoc, keyword filters.
