<		 Spam has become a huge problem, clogging up our inboxes and the internet as a whole. there are estimates that 80-90 percent of all email is unwanted, unsolicited junk mail (spam). there's a number of ways to combat this problem. Our first speaker, Bill Allie has recently rebuilt his Linux based mail server and is going to tell us about setting up a basic mail server with SPAM and virus filtering using postfix (why postfix and not sendmail, he'll tell us), greylisting and segregator.

Our first speaker, Bill Allie has recently rebuilt his Linux based mail server and is going to tell us about setting up a basic mail server with SPAM and virus filtering using postfix (why postfix and not sendmail, he'll tell us), greylisting and sagator: http://www.salstar.sk/sagator/.

His goal was to stem the flow of junk mail (both SPAM and viruses) that his server had to handle. He'll discuss what he did to filter out the junk using open source tools. The discussion will cover the selection and configuring of the Mail Transport Agent (MTA), how to limit spam using SMTP policies, header restrictions, spam filtering software, and virus blocking software.
