Ah!
One reason I have spamassassin in procmail rather than up front in Postfix is that I have many procmail rules BEFORE I apply spamassassin.
* if the ISP has already labelled it is SPAM then put it in the SpamBox right away
* if its for any one of a number of lists that I subscribe to, the put it in the list folder right away.
Having bracketed list markers on the subject line is nice :-)
* if its not in English, put it in the ForeignBox right away
* if it meets a pile of garbage conditions them put it in the SpamBox
* if its from a 'whitelist' of senders don't bother with spamassassin (yes I know spamassassin has a whitelist; this is faster)
All this relieves SpamAssassin of a lot of processing. However you cut it, SpamAssassin is a choke-point. Only using it when I have to relieves a big load.
I guess we're down to a matter of "is it worth it?". I don't see SA as a choke-point at all - it's sufficiently fast, even on my ancient hardware and including my own ~1400 extra rules. I sincerely doubt if pre-filtering with <whatever> will reduce the load significantly, so I leave all filtering to spamassassin. Also simplifies the overall setup. I'm curious, how do you determine if something is not in English? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
