I don't know anything about spambouncer, but I'm going to do the typically-geeky thing here and Suggest Something Better (tm). Let me preface this by admitting that I don't know if it would be truly better in your case or not, but it works well for me.

I use spamassassin and amavisd with 3 virus scanners (McAfee ViruScan, F-Secure, and ClamAV) on our mailserver and with this combination very little in the way of spam gets through, plus I can honestly say that our users haven't seen a virus e-mail in 2+ years. SpamAssassin uses a combination of Bayesian analysis, spam-technique-specific rulesets, and online spam catalogs to do its work and the result seems to be something that works pretty well.

If you don't have access to your mailserver and have your procmail recipe set up client-side I believe you can still make use of SpamAssassin by hooking it up to procmail as well.


It's running on an old Solaris machine. It might be hard to make everything work. Thanks for the ideas though. Once I move everything to Linux, I'll be looking into those programs.

Mike
