Spamass Milter vs. Procmail
Ø Spamass-Milter
Ø New code, not too stable, known bugs like crashes
dealing with simultaneous messages
Ø Maintainer not settled
Ø Usually requires recompile of sendmail
Ø Fewer processes because it is a socket to spamc rather
than a process
Ø Per-user SA features don’t work because spamassassin
doesn’t know who the user is
Ø Procmail
Ø Proven code, been around and in use forever, stable
Ø Usually already installed and easy to add to mailer
Ø Requires particular permissions on home directories
