FuGlu Mail Content Scanner - looks impressive
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 1:20 pm
I just came across FuGlu - a Python-based mail content scanner for Postfix, with ClamAV and Spamassassin support.
https://github.com/gryphius/fuglu
From reading the documentation, the highlights for me are:
1) It *appears* to be capable of *rejecting* spam/viruses while the remote server is connected, something that amavisd et al don't seem to be able to do. This is very important to reduce/eliminate backscatter.
2) It appears to have per user/per domain configuration capabilities, from file or database.
3) It uses clamd and spamd (does not call SA per message like amavisd)
4) It is in current development
5) It does not appear to be overly complicated
6) Easy MRTG support
7) Comprehensive logging
So, at first glance, this thing appears to be extremely impressive.
However, the mailing list seems surprisingly quiet, and I had not even seen a hint of this thing until today, so I don't think it is particularly popular up until now.
