CentOS - Nov 2005 - CentOS mailserver and spam filter setup ideas & preferences

greetings,

yes, Mr. Richey it was funny what everyone posted... we all need that from
time to time eh?

ummm on the work side... i have been trying to search on how to block
alternative language spam (spanish or otherwise) and am coming up fairly
blank except for Bayesian filtering...

i will probably be using the www.qmailrocks.org system again yet i am
interested in what others have done and are doing please...

i used sendmail for years so any hints from that side would be appreciate
too please?

plus if someone tell me what i should be putting in my google search for
trying to find alternative ways to filter spanish or other language spam
please? i am almost drawing a blank!

thanks in advance

Ugh.. qmail. I'll refrain from spitting up too much hate about the DJB
way of doing things here and just say "it's a functional product, but
his way is not the right way"

There are some excellent mail setup guides located at
http://www.hughesjr.com/content/category/1/14/30/Guides

They're quite good, and cover everything from intial setup to webmail
to filtering. Well worth the read.

A mix of Sendmail w/ greet pause, throttling, milter-ahead(or sender) 
milter-greylist, MailScanner with SpamAssassin + DCC + Pyzor + Razor + 
Rules du jour is what I use and I'm very satisfied with it.
