Atomic Scanner: A replacement for drweb/psa-spamassassin Print E-mail
Written by scott   
Monday, 21 July 2008

We've talked about this a lot over the last year or so, Atomic-Scanner is a web-based front end on qmail-scanner to implement anti-spam and anti-virus capabilities in Plesk. Last month we asked you the users what you'd like to see in ASL, and by overwhelming majority (I think it was 4:1 over the 2nd place) this was what people asked for. But before I go any further, the eye candy Atomic Scanner

We've got big plans for Atomic Scanner,  since this is much more deeply integrated into Plesk we can do some much more interesting things with it. Lets go over the basic features in Atomic Scanner first:

  • Supports every A/V scanner we could find (nearly 20!), and comes with ClamAV by default 
  • Support Spamassassin, enabled by default
  • Allows you to escrow mail, this means you can archive mail to, or from a user/domain/regex. Lots of potential here for compliance reasons, or general anti-spam debugging.
  • Delete/Reject/Quarantine mail based on Spamassassin score
  • Add disclaimer to mail going through the server
  • Extensive statistics, spam, total mail, viruses, etc.

 

Going forward I can see us being able to implement all sorts of other interesting things, like quarantine folders, automatic bayes training, spam traps, etc. Personally the statistics package is the most interesting to me,  and I'd like to get more features on that front into the schedule (per-user stats maybe?).  If that interests you, or you have any other ideas vote for it here .

Does spamassasin from ASL repository work if you don't have registered Plesk's spamassasin option ?

Subject: Yup

Sure does, you don't need a spamassassin or drweb key for this.
