Slamming Spam
A Guide for System Administrators
Robert Haskins, Dale Nielsen - Collection Security/Networking
Résumé
Real Anti-Spam Help for System Administrators
In Slamming Spam, two spam fighters show you how to fight back-and win. Unlike most spam books, this one is written specifically for in-the-trenches system administrators: professionals who need hands-on solutions for detecting, managing, and deterring spam in Unix/Linux and/or Microsoft Windows environments.
The authors offer deep, administrator-focused coverage of the most valuable open-source tools for reducing spam's impact in the enterprise-especially SpamAssassin. Drawing on their extensive experience in developing and implementing anti-spam tools, the authors present expert insights into every leading approach to fighting spam, including Bayesian filtering, distributed checksum filtering, and email client filtering.
Coverage includes
- Step-by-step junk mail filtering with Procmail
- Protecting Sendmail, Postfix, qmail, Microsoft Exchange, and Lotus Domino servers from spam
- Making the most of native MTA anti-spam features, including whitelists/blacklists, DNS black hole services, and header checking
- Distributed checksum filtering solutions, including Vipul's Razor and Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse
- McAfee SpamKiller for Lotus Domino
- McAfee SpamKiller for Microsoft Exchange
- Implementing and managing SpamAssassin
- Implementing SMTP AUTH, providing effective outbound SMTP authentication and relaying with any mail client; and STARTTLS, encrypting outbound mail content, user names, and passwords
- Sender verification techniques, including challenge/response, special use addresses, and sender compute
- Anti-spam solutions for Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Messenger, and Unix mail clients
Whatever your IT environment and mail platform, Slamming Spam's defense in-depth strategies can help you dramatically reduce spam and all its attendant costs-IT staff time, network/computing resources, and user productivity.
