Weasel and spam filters

Hi, everyone.

I'm wanting to set up a POP3/SMTP server setup for my own domain (nsbbs.info).  Luckily for me, I have the domain hosted at a good place to where I have complete and total control over it and I've shopped around for other places that offer POP/SMTP access for free, but there's a lot of bandwidth restriction.  I'm wanting to use this to move BBS packets via email and for a few email addresses of my own.  I've looked at Weasel and I've used older versions of Weasel before, but now I'm concerned about spam filters.

To be quite honest, I'm rather lost when it comes to this.  I've no knowledge (well, very, very limited) of this and how it would work.  I'm looking for some advice on what I should use, how to do it, et al.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

You can use RBL's with Weasel, I use :-

rbl.comkal.net (internal only, includes all of China, and a couple of other countries).
zen.spamhaus.org
safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net
bl.spamcop.net

You can also use the following ones if you like :-

combined.rbl.msrbl.net
combined.njabl.org
dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net

I have rbl.comkal.net first to check as I host my own DNS, which is how I setup the rbl.comkal.net zone file.

I also use the "Banned" tab to add various domains.
In the filtering section I use multifilter, that calls ClamAV, and Weasel Filter.
ClamAV is setup here to dump scam and picture spam etc as well as virus's.

You can also join the Weasel mailing list via http://www.os2voice.org/mailinglists.php
