—————————————————————-1. - Introduction
Mac OS X 10.4.x/10.5.x Mail Services are composed of Postfix,
Cyrus, Squirrelmail, Mailman, Amavisd-new, Spamassassin &
ClamAV. These components come pre-installed and pre-configured.
Unfortunately, the configuration is a very basic one and doesn’t
take advantage of the underlying power and in some circumstances
can even cripple a server’s performance.
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how
to improve the mail services configuration to fight spam more
efficiently.
This document will require you to use the command line and a
text editor (do NOT use Word). If you do not feel comfortable
with using the command line, you should find assistance.
This document is written for Mac OS X 10.4.x/10.5.x. It should
apply to 10.3.x as well. Be aware though that I have not done
any particular testing of this procedure on 10.3.x.
