Tutorial for setting up a spamassassin mailfilter? (No local mailboxes except spamtrap)

[Philip Seccombe <ph...@turnstone.co.nz>]

Hey everyone,

 

I've found various opinions on this when I search so thought I would ask
here and see what people say.

 

Currently I have a debian box with spamassassin being called by qmail on
incoming emails, emails are then forwarded back out to the external mail
servers.

 

I am wanting to reset this up and wanting to do so on a virtual machine
using vmware.

 

Does anyone know of or have a tutorial or can advise about setting this
up? It does not need to be the same programs eg qmail, but must be
spamassassin and debian.

 

Basically we change customer ABC Ltd mx record so mail.abcltd.com goes
to our spamassassin filters ip address.

Email to @abcltd.com goes to our spam filter, it checks it, if its spam
it saves it in a local mailbox, if its ham it forwards it to ABC Ltd's
server.

 

 

Kind Regards,

Philip Seccombe
