How To: Setup Spamassassin on RedHat Firewall with earthlink email?

[abcampa]

So here is my situation. I have a RHEL Clone (CentOS) as my firewall directly connected to my cable modem.

I use iptables and have internal computers. I use earthlink POP mail @ smtp-east.earthlink.net or something like that. I want the linux FW to receive the mail from earthlink, run it through spamassassin and then my internal PC i guess would point to my linux FW box to then recieve the spam-stripped mail.

I suppose this is the way it should work. Has anyone any experience on setting this up? wether it be spamassassin or some other product?

I already have spamassassin installed but yet to configure it.

i use IPCOP and have downloaded Copflter which does spamfiltering as well as Email and HTTP antivirus scanning. if you go to their website you maybe able to use copfilter but i am not sure. good luck

i would do that but i want to keep linux on it for other apps that cant be installed on ipcop.

Use fetchmail & procmail. In your .fetchmailrc, set mda /usr/bin/procmail and configure it to lurk in the background polling your POP3 account. In your .procmailrc include recipes like the following:

:0fw
| /bin/spamassassin -P

:0:
