lcsam (LiveConfig SpamAssassin Milter) is a milter (Sendmail filter) service to check incoming e-mails with SpamAssassin and optionally tag or reject them.
We've searched a while for a tool to filter incoming mails through SpamAssassin which meets the following conditions:
- works with Postfix
- allows per-user thresholds and actions
- works without a MySQL database
- allows rejection at SMTP time (to avoid backscatter)
- no script language please (no additional runtime requirements)
There are numerous tools available - however, none of these matched our requirements. Either they are written in Perl, they store their user configuration in MySQL, or they don't even allow per-user thresholds.
lcsam is based on the program flow and some ideas of Daniel Hartmeiers excellent milter-spamd, but is completely rewritten from scratch. We've focussed on security and reliability since the very first line of code. We do
- static code analysis with PC-lint (the propably most sophisticated tool ever!) and clang
- runtime analysis with Valgrind (amongst others)
- unit tests with Check
- publish the source as lcsam is also available under an open-source license (GPLv2)
