Postfix and AMaVisD-new -- Hacking Journal [2006/03/13]

I wore my sysadmin fire hat today, taking a new email server live at work. I was able to replace a Postfix/procmail/POP3 server with a Postfix/AMaVisD proxy. It turned out pretty well, as I was able to fully migrate to it with 0 downtime by using a backup MX record. The proxy was setup pretty much along the lines on this Anti-Spam Wiki except for I used the Debian version of the instructions.

AMaVisD turned out to be a great program once it was installed. I was able to setup Spamassassin and ClamAV right off the bat, which gave me more time to work on customizing my rulesets for our company. All in all, a pretty good day.
