As the days and months go by more and more coverage is being given to the new
communication kids on the block , tools such as twitter , yammer , and more recently google wave. There has become talk of e-mail as a communication tool eventually no longer leading as the forefront of modern day communication.
However from what we can see here in dediserve , that is not, going to be for a considerable amount of time and with approx. 2.25 Billion emails currently being sent out every day , that’s an enormous mindset that looks unlikely to change within the next ten years.
With e-mail being such a vitally important communication tool for both our personal and business lives, it’s availability is paramount, email downtime now costs money, due to missed meetings or sales potentials, where another company who was able to respond straight away has closed the deal.
One of the constant daily/hourly battles faced by all providers and server administrators managing mail servers is spam – the bane of many sys-admins lives. And With Spam now accounting for 80 – 85% of all email traffic, it can be a time consuming job ensuring only proper mail actually gets delivered.
Thankfully Justin Mason and the apache project provide a super free tool to easily deal with this issue and it’s called spam assassin. To very easily configure spam assassin within your virtualmin control panel , simply click on the server you want to configure then Services > SpamAssassin
Virtualmin provides an excellent very easy to use web based interface, which allows you to easily manage the white/black lists, as well as stop specific emails based on their headers.
