Improving filtering of SPAM...

[Nick Rosier]

Have you activated postscript in Postfix? It was a major improvement for
me. The less spam makes it to amavisd, the better. And if you don't mind a
little delay on some mails you can also install a greylisting server.

Wietse describes a very good strategy (which I'm using)  here:
