We're proud to announce the availability of a spmfilter port for FreeBSD (http://www.freshports.org/mail/spmfilter/). Thanks to Fraenki!

Ports for spmfilter-clamav and spmfilter-spamassassin are following soon.

This is the first version of the spmfilter-spamassassin plugin, which enables spmfilter to spam-check emails with the help of the daemonized version of Spamassassin (spamd). The major goal of this plugin is to provide an easy way for spam-checking messages.

Messages, which are identified as spam can be directly rejected or quarantined. The additional tools smf-spamq and smf-spamctl are used to manage the spam-quarantine by providing an easy command line interface.

Changes:

• Added new session field, which enables plugins to define own smtp response messages.
• Increased max. log message length
• Fixed several bugs in plugin handling
• Fixed #7, multiple free of filepointers
• Fixed #6, defined smtp response messages were not displayed.
• Fixed some issues with return code handling, refs #5

This announcement notes the significant changes in version 0.4.

• GNU Autotools was replaced with the Cmake build system.
• A generic database interface was added, providing transparent connection to multiple database systems with connection pooling, failover, and load balancing functions. Spmfilter supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, BerkeleyDB, and LDAP as database backends.
• IPv6 support
• Plugin tracking was added. By the use of state files, spmfilter is able to track the current plugin processing status. In short, plugins which have already been executed won't be re-processed in case of an error.
• TLS support was added
• Added new functions to create MIME messages
• New binary packages for CentOS, RedHat Enterprise and Fedora Core
