      Starting Guide for Postfix Mail Server Configuration Supporting Anti Spam and Anti Virus - Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

      1. Introduction:

      This work provides starting guide for simple Postfix mail server configuration. Then I configured the Postfix mail server to support Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus, using two methods.

      Method 1: With Postfix, SpamAssassin, ClamAV and Amavis-new

      Method 2: With Postfix, SpamAssassin, ClamAV and Procmail

      8. Method 2 to support Antivirus and Antispam: Using Postfix, Procmail, ClamAV, SpamAssassin

      2. How Postfix receives mail:

Names followed by a number are Postfix commands or server programs, while unnumbered names inside shaded areas represent Postfix queues.

      Network mail enters Postfix via the smtpd(8) or qmqpd(8) servers. These servers remove the SMTP or QMQP protocol encapsulation, enforce some sanity checks to protect Postfix, and give the sender, recipients and message content to the cleanup(8) server. The smtpd(8) server can be configured to block unwanted mail, as described in the SMTPD_ACCESS_README document.

      Local submissions are received with the Postfix sendmail(1) compatibility command, and are queued in the maildrop queue by the privileged postdrop(1) command. This arrangement even works while the Postfix mail system is not running. The local pickup(8) server picks up local submissions, enforces some sanity checks to protect Postfix, and gives the sender,
