Re: [vps-mail] filtering non local account with spamassassin and clamav



Thanks  Scott,

  i was wondering if there was not a way to tell sendmail : just go
throught filter 1 then filter2 (spamassassin/clamav) instead of using
external shell or procmail recipe. I am starting to read about the
milter lib for sendmail. 

  If there is no other way i will use procmail or a shell script but i
really find this not really the best solution to launch a third program
just to pass the mail to a filter :). I have done no testing about
performance of the procmail thing but if sendmail can do the job this is
an economy of processing power, and if i got a lot of emails then it can
save the day. 

  I stumbled upon this : http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-spamc/ but
i don't had the time to test if vps2 handle the milter lib (shame on me
;). I will have to test this ! :)

best regards,
Ghislain.
