  1. A whole buncha' links with contradictory information on how to properly set up a mail server ;-)

    Disclaimer - My primary goal is to add proper Spamassassin (SA) filtering to an existing Postfix / Dovecot / roundcube installation, i.e.:

    • use SA as a milter (mail filter) to attribute a spam score to incoming mail
    • keep SA up-to-date
    • train SA with spam/ham from the users' virtual mailboxes
    • train SA according to user decisions (actual user or trained mail client with automatic/trained spam detection)

    Here we go!
