A follow up to Smartertools answers the cry on the fight against spam with smartermail 4.0.
Alot of clients have been asking about how we’re handling spamassassin with Smartermail 4.0. It’s no secret that spamassassin on a windows server runs horribly slow. If more than a handful of domains are involved I have no doubt that spamassassin would cripple the server if not fail completely. However I also believe that greylisting is the more effective component in the smartertools anti-spam arsenal and will reduce spam to a fraction of what it would be with just spamassassin alone.

A few months ago we were invited by the smartertools team to become a beta tester for Smartermail 4.0. The biggest change in Smartermail 4.0 for us is the improved spam fighting techniques. With the earlier versions of Smartermail, RBL checks and bayesian filtering was released, unfortunately spammers were already aware of bayesian filtering and had already found ways to corrupt the effectiveness of bayesian filtering. RBLs are just hit or miss and not really effective for the most part (they tend to throw the baby out with the bath water). One of our comments at that time was “hey look at spamassassin” but unfortunately the bits had been set in stone and it couldn’t be implemented. Appearantly we weren’t the only ones commenting on this because today we have spamassassin integration but it’s integrated far better than I could have expected.
