[ATrpms-users] Building new MX servers using atrpms

[Jani Partanen]

Very first, start to use smart. It beats yum hands down.

Second, spamassassin won't catch much cheats alone. Very good result you
will get if you use amavisd-new what will run spamassassin, clamav and
dspam.
After teaching a while dspam, it will catch most of the spasm what
spamassassing won't catch. And clamav will catch virus mails.

Too bad that there ain't anyone who has made good rpm packet of dspam, so
that's what you need to build yourself.
