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.
