What to migrate to.

[Tracy Greggs]

I have been using the same setup on Centos 6.x, MS with Baruwa for quite
some time, with SA, Razor, Pyzor and DCC.   Additionally I use the
xtables-addons for iptables to do geoip blocking of Russia, China and some
others.  Its free and works well and only really needs an geoip update once
a month as that is about as often as Maxmind updates their data, and easy
enough to crontab a job to do that for you.  Not only does the geoip
blocking get rid of the spam, it also stops the unauthorized access attempts
to your other services such as POP3 etc.  Fail2ban is something you might
also want to look at if you have a lot of hacking attempts at your POP3,
SSH, FTP or whatever.

I also wonder if you are using any RBL at the MTA level or only scoring them
with SA?

Best wishes,
Tracy Greggs

Subject: What to migrate to.

Hi All,

I have been an avid mailscanner user for many years now and I have recently
been running a MS server with Baruwa front-end.
Recently no matter what I do I seem to be letting SPAM and Virus mail
through, and loads of russian spam.

So I think it is time to rebuild my server as it has been running for more
than 2 years and I do like to rebuild the OS from time to time.

So my question is:

What is a good combination of MS / Front End/ addition scripts and rules
that will make a good MS solution for my small installation.

I only use this for personal mail domains so don't have budget for a paid
solution.

I host my current server on a kvm host on my main server.

I would really appreciate some guidance

Thanks

Lance
