Outbound Filtering.

[sp...@neobright.net]

I'm interested in using SpamAssassin and would like to know if anyone has 
used it for
outbound filtering.

For example:
I would like the ability to filter messages by domain.  To prevent being 
blacklisted by
AOL or such companies, I would like to filter outbound email destined to 
AOL for spam
and/or viruses.  Is this possible with SpamAssassin?

Thank you,
Nina

Nina

depends on how you are calling SA.

I use MailScanner and it's perfectly possible to get MailScanner to scan 
outbound email for spam only for certain domains.

BUT as most spammer infected machines have their MTA, you'll prob need a 
firewall rule to redirect all outbound SMTP messages to the SpamAssassin 
box..

Yes. I had this setup for a bit when I first started with SA (my 
connector between SA and the MTA didn't know about users.) We are a 
small # of users, but high mail volume (engineering.) I figured I could 
flog a user if he/she started spamming ;-D
