Re: [PLUG] Thunderbird and Spamassassin

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

This might be off-topic, but I have had wonderfull success with MIMEDefang
Milter in Sendmail to call SpamAssassin (and other) utility. No need for
procmail because it is site-wide, anything going through MTA gets
filtered. Customization is easy because main config for MIMEDefang is
Perl.

Performance is very good too. I have one box that processes 1-2 emails per
second continously all day - and its barely breaking a sweat. MIMEDefang
doesn't use spamc, rather, it loads the SpamAssassin perl module directly
into slave perl threads that sit around waiting for work.
