This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS) based server as a spamfilter in Gateway mode. In the end, you will have a SpamSnake Gateway which will relay clean emails to your MTA. You will also be able to view your incoming queue, train your SpamSnake and carry out a few more advanced operations via MailWatch.

I cannot offer any guarantees that this will work for you, the same way it’s working for me.

I will use the following software:

  • Web Server: Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2.4 and Ruby
  • Database Server: MySQL 5.0
  • Mail Server: Postfix
  • DNS Server: BIND9
  • PHP: PHP5
  • MailScanner: MailScanner v4.68.8
  • MailWatch: MailWatch v1.0.4

Credit goes to the guys at HowToForge and the developers of MailScanner and MailWatch.
