Postfix Dspam 380 Ubuntu

I have been wrestling with my dspam configuration on Ubuntu for quite some time and think I finally got it set up the optimal way. It took building a custom modern dspam package myself, with the help of a kind soul who built a custom package for Debian etch.

I get tens of thousands of spam messages to my personal accounts each month. And there are many more going to other users at my domain. It has been getting worse recently. This primarily caused me to take more drastic action and implement realtime blackhole lists to block spam from even entering my mail system. It is absolutely stunning to see how much spam gets blocked vs. how much gets in now. I haven’t calculated the stats but on a cursory look at my logs, it is well over 70% that is being dropped on the floor now.
