Qmail + Anti-Spam + Anti-virus

Hi,

I have this server http://mediatemple.net/webhosting/dv/pricing.php (dv base) with CentOS 5.2 and Qmail.

The problem is that I recieve a lot of spam per day, so I need to configure a anti-spam + anti-virus on this server.

The second problem is that I don't have yum instaled, so I need to configure all package and dependencies by hand :)

Can you tell me how I configure a anti-spam + anti-virus system on this server with Qmail ?

Best regards

Usually Qmail is set up these days with some kind of patch set like Qmail-combined-patch-set (John Simpson: http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/combined.shtml) or Qmailtoaster.

I believe that you at the bare minimum require the patch that allows for a replacement queue mechanism. This patch allows you to use programs like Qmail-Scanner (http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/) or Simscan (http://www.inter7.com/index.php?page=simscan) which can tied scanners like Spamassassin and CLamAV into the queue.

I have some basic guidlines here starting at Step 8.
