Gateway SMTP 2

[netwalker1]

I have an exchange in my internal Network , and I want to setup a new Linux server to work as a SMTP Gateway ..
so that all the emails comming or sending to or from my original Mail server should pass through this new server ..
which will have anti-spam , and anti-virus software installed on it..

Any idea for what shall I use on this server , and how can I do it ...

thanks ,,,

I use postfix and ClamAV. It works very well for me.

You can go to postfix.org and read the installation instructions. The ClamAV site has instructions for integrating it with all the important mailers, including postfix.

Eric's idea is a good one. I recommend using amavisd-new
which takes care of cetralizing your configuration for the most part. Postfix and clamav are a good combo, but the last time I checked clamav was missing some basic features,
notably quarantining per mail, this has probably changed, but if not antivir=

was cheap to license and very effective.

I've also heard good things about amavisd. I've been thinking about changing over to it, myself.

Really simple to do and the config script is very understandable, well commented, and I've never had any
problems using spamassassin, postfix blacklists and a
an antivirus scanner in conjunction on relatively modest hardware.
YMMV of course
