DSPAM and Sendmail

[Ken Menzel]

Hi Ernie,
  I don't know DSPAM, is it a "milter"  like mimedefang and 
spamassassin?  I use mimedefang and spamassassin (mimedefang calls 
spamassassin) in a gateway spam filter/virus scanner etc config.  In 
my /etc/mail/hostname.mc file I put in
dnl # icarz customizations here
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', 
`S=local:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, 
F=T,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `mimedefang')dnl
dnl Custom rate limits should be OK with 1 gig

define(`confCONNECTION_RATE_THROTTLE',`10')
define(`confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN', `40' )

define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhost.icarz.com')


You can change the mail filter to be any mail filter.  The SMART_HOST 
sends everything to my real mail server.  My mx records point to this 
host.  I am sure there are better configurations,  but this was easy.

I hope this helps you with you question,
Ken
