Next WLUG Meeting: Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam for Linux (Monday 27 October)

Hi everyone, Because I want to see a big "Happy Birthday to me" audience, based on current relevance and suggestions prior to the AGM we're cobbling together a great topic for the next meeting: "Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam E-Mail Filtering on Linux". Suggestions for what to talk about include: * server side filtering options (MailScanner, Amavis, ClamAV & SpamAssassin, probably presented in a "How To" format with Debian Woody, Exim and Courier IMAP) * client side filtering (how bayesian filtering works, Mozilla Mail's implementation, plugging SpamAssassin into Evolution or Kmail) Since I've been doing this at work lately, I don't mind presenting it (and might even drag Greig into it too), unless anyone else would specifically like to. Seeing there are a lot of new users in WLUG lately, and that it would seem a lot of you start with KDE on Mandrake; can you let me know what email client you use? If you're interested in this topic and can't wait till the meeting, I've put some preliminary notes up at http://www.wlug.org.nz/MeetingTopics.2003-10-27. Craig

Ph33r ye, ph33r ye. I should be able to attend. Woohoo. Looking forward to this one. Gav

If it's any help, I've recently implemented both ClamAV and SpamAssassin on the server, using Sendmail and a couple of milters (milter-spamc and clamav-milter). I know, Sendmail's evil... but I could always do a write-up for whoever will be presenting. Hmmmm... the 27th is Labour Day, isn't it?
