What are the steps in Mail setup to reduce spamming?

[garooh]

Hello

i tried to find out the best setting to assign in C.P Server=>Mail=>Prefrences
there was some usefull step by step thread for older versions..

but now i see the relay IP in Whiteliist is changed to: 12.0.0.0 / 8 .. insted of 12.0.0.1 / 8
and the Prefrences page has so many options!

Could someone guide us here with step by step how to fill these options with the best way to reduce spammin in the server?

I'm not sure if you're talking about spam coming off your server, or spam coming into the mailboxes on your server, but you might want to have a look at SpamDyke : http://www.spamdyke.org/ and http://www.blueoryx.info/linux_administration/spamdyke

I may have move over to spamdyke on my UBUNTU server, as PLSEK 8.6 has not fixed is SPAM blocking by looking up DNS on spamhous. It works, but unfortutely looks up up authenticated SMTP connections as well, and blocks the clients sending email, so I have had to turn it off. Dunno how to gix that bug.

Thats not a bug Your users are coming from blacklisted IP's. My servers would block their mail too (for good reason!).
