Amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between mailer (message transfer agent - MTA) and one or more content checkers: virus scanners, and/or [SpamAssasin]. It is written entirely in Perl, assuring high reliability, portability and maintainability. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. Best with Postfix, works with Exim, sendmail/milter or with any MTA as a SMTP relay. \[http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/\] |

[MailScanner] now includes support for [SpamAssassin]. This is "a virus scanner for e-mail designed for use on e-mail gateways. It can also detect a large proportion of unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) passing through it." \[http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/\] |
Integrated into Sendmail
With Sendmail, Spamassassin can be called for every user by editing /etc/procmailrc . More details at http://www.stearns.org/doc/spamassassin-setup.current.html#sitewide
An alternative is to use the smtp-vilter high-performance content filter using the sendmail milter API which has a backend for Spamassassins spamd. More details at http://www.etc.msys.ch/software/smtp-vilter/

MIMEDefang, a sendmail milter written by Roaring Penguin Software, filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP through a sendmail installation, blocking common mail virii, and now -- with the help of [SpamAssassin] -- spam. "You can use [SpamAssassin] to test for spam, and then all of the MIMEDefang goodies to reject, manipulate or otherwise mangle the message." \[http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/\] |

spamass-milt \[http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/\] is a sendmail milter by Georg C. F. Greve, which allows sendmail users to filter spam at the heart of the sendmail message pipeline. It also allows [SpamAssassin] to be used for UUCP sites. If you plan to use this, be sure to read Kevin [McGrail]'s walkthrough at Peregrine Hardware. \[http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/INSTALL-spamassmilter\]. |

Integrated into Postfix
The easiest way to integrate postfix and spamassassin is to use spamd. First, edit master.cf, find the smtp line and just add "-o content_filter=spamassassin" to the end of the line.
