Help
I am writing this post to know what do you think about this project
http://assp.sourceforge.net
It seems complete like
http://www.rvskin.com/index.php?page=public/antispam#2
but it acts like a proxy spam .
Unluckly I cannot find an how to for cpanel. What do you think about ?
read this
I'm quite sure that ASSP does NOT start a new process for each incoming connection (such as SA !). I have it running in daemon mode and there's always only one process running. So it seems quite efficient, even though it's a single-threaded program.
Can spamd (spamassassin) match that performance?

I installed it on a server and it works fine TOGHETER with rsvkin antispam .
It's easy to install , your shlould only remember to open 55555 for web interface and add this
line to exim
# assp
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125
In this way it will work perfectly . Then read VERY WELL the documentation and you have done !.
The first days you have only to monitor what assp is doing and then you can disable the test mode.
The best things of are
1) it uses 90% less cpu than spamd (SA)
2) if you use only the test mode with prepend subject ( [SPAM] i.e.)
you will lose no valid email
3) if a client receive a valid emai with [SPAM] he can reply the email
and this email will be put on nospam
and most important
since the spam email arrives taggedwith (SPAM) to spamassassin , we could instruct SA
to work only on no tagged email . It will reduce the cpu work by 90% !
Of course assp supports also rbl and tons of other features.
assp works such as a proxy , after the work he sends the email to
your exim .
Simply fantastic .
My question now is , how to instruct exim that a message with [SPAM] in subject
or other assp header lines , should not be executed by SA saving cpu ?

ASSP run on the top of EXIM. There are serveral things do the same things which my suggested ACL for EXIM does such as RBL, sender verification, virus scan, and etc. and cannot find a good reason to run ASSP on the top of EXIM. To scan the content of the email I believe that ASSP need to accept the whole email. That means you cannot reject it afterward. When it forward mail to EXIM, all deny ACL especially in the RCPT state have to be removed or change to drop. By logic, it will increase server load as a large part of email are rejected on the RCPT state.
If ASSP was able to handle all current RCPT of EXIM at lower resource usage, I would be interested to incoporate it.
