Hello list! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Due to the increase of spam/phishing emails received by my office, I |
| 4 |
decided to explore the idea of implementing a spamfiltering 'frontend' |
| 5 |
in front of my email server. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Here's how I plan to do it: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
fetchmail (G) --> postfix (G) --> amavisd+spamassassin+database (G) |
| 10 |
--> postfix (G) --> current email back-end (WS) --> clients (W) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
(G) = the single Gentoo server working as mailfilter |
| 13 |
(WS) = mail server on Windows Server |
| 14 |
(W) = various Windows clients (XP and 7) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I need fetchmail because currently we still use a hosting company, at |
| 17 |
least until August when we host everything on our own. Then, we'll |
| 18 |
drop fetchmail and expose postfix for the world to deliver the mails |
| 19 |
to. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I also want to use amavisd's 'pen pal feature', so the outgoing emails |
| 22 |
will take this route: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
clients --> mail back-end --> postfix --> amavisd --> postfix --> ISP |
| 25 |
mail-relay server |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Now, did I plan right? Can anyone poke any holes in my plan before I |
| 28 |
tie a 'ganbatte!' headband and study hard to implement the system |
| 29 |
successfully or die trying? |
