I am looking at updating my email stack after a number of years and am wondering what to do for anti-spam. Is Spamassassin still the best option, or is there something better nowadays?

    I switched to rspamd. Its bayesian filter is a little weird. It only started working ok after I found the right amount of mails to feed to it. For some reason it forgot everything if I gave it too many mails. I think it’s a Redis thing. No idea. I don’t have the brain power to figure it out or write a proper bug report. But I think my Debian version is outdated anyways, so this might be fixed by now.

    For my server learning from mails from the last 50 days was the sweet spot. Since then I got no false positives and only the occasional false negative. Exactly how I want my spam filter to be.
