SBS 2003/Exchange and a Linux Spam Gateway

[Sampson, Aaron]

Rudy,


There are a lot of guides on the net that show you how to install the software and configure it.  Here is one that I used http://techsup.corp.networkingtechnology.org/ntforum/index.php?topic=158.0 I hope that it helps.  Also not sure if this guide lists this but during your installation there is an error in the software that causes Mail Scanner not to work properly.  There is a simple fix to this where you have to add a -U to the end of #!/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner -U  adding the -U will fix the problem and together it is a very powerful software suite

Subject: SBS 2003/Exchange and a Linux Spam Gateway

My company uses Microsoft Small Business Server which is running Exchange 2003 for email services. We have been using a service called Exchange Defender provided to us by a consultant that were getting rid of. Exchange Defender is a service that filters spam and viruses for us. There are just 5 of us using Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2010 as clients. I have a little box that is a Via Epia 15000EG motherboard with 1G of RAM and a 250GB drive. I put Linux Mint 13 Mate 32-bit on it and it works great. I would like to use this little box as an email gateway to filter spam and viruses for the Exchange 2003 server. It would be nice if I could just pop that little box between the Internet and the Exchange server as an appliance to do this. I did some Googling and found SpamAssassin and ClamAV as free products to do this. I am just not clear on how to install them properly on the Linux box and how to configure it.

I would like to figure out how to do this myself, because I would learn something valuable and get this service running for myself.

Thanks ahead of time.

Rudy
