NOTACON 4: Spam/Virus/Phishing Gateways

Speaker: Jon "Bohack" Buhagiar

My goal is to cover all of the elements of a good spam gateway and not to go thru each command in a laundry list fashion. The system to be presented upon is called MailScanner written by Julian Field of South Hampton University. We will walk thru the definition of a solid Linux install with the Debian distro. I will then explain how email is transferred thru the Internet and which components are necessary for creating a successful gateway server. The Mail Transfer Agent to be discussed in detail will be Postfix; other MTAs will be spoken of briefly. Spamassassin configuration will also be discussed in great detail and all of the supporting elements that plugin to extend spam and virus detection. The plugins to be covered will be Clam Antivirus, DCC, Razor, Pyzor, RBLs and SARE. I will also discuss how to properly tie Postfix to an Active Directory network for recipient IDs and why this is necessary. By the end of the presentation I hope to inspire the use of open source spam/virus scanning systems and raise the awareness of open source software in combating spam.
