Sorry for asking such a useless question but I face some problems in the respective installation.
I installed ClamAV, SpamAssassin and P3Scan, and also redirect POP(110), SMTP(25) and IMAP traffic towards P3Scan port 8110,
but I face some problem in this configuration.

what this installation do fine:
1) POP traffic scanning for virus + SPAM.
2) SMTP traffic scanning for Virus.
3) IMAP traffic for virus.

what this installation not do:
1) SPAM scanning for SMTP traffic.
2) SPAM scanning for IMAP traffic.

PLz help me in this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Why apologise? After all we're called Linuxquestions.org. If you can't ask here, where can you?..

Inbound or outbound? If inbound, what does sending a test email show (Spamassassin headers and tally)? If outbound you'll need either a proxy or a milter.


[QUOTE=netguy2000;28795702) SPAM scanning for IMAP traffic.[/QUOTE]
IMAP is kind of a email "storage" system. Filtering should be done before it gets delivered to IMAP. If that's not what you mean maybe --verbose and add some details.
