       I’ve been deploying some old tech recently (smokeping, crm114, spamassassin!) and I’m wondering if they’re still the right tools for those jobs or if I’m relying on very out of date expertise

       @jmtd You say "old", I say "mature". Since SpamAssassin still works just fine for me, I've seen no need to look elsewhere. If there even is a worthwhile elsewhere to look at.

       In the case of SA, I’m not planning on using its actual filter rules, but it’s a method of connecting Exim and crm114. I guess I could swap out crm114 but I’ve been so happy with it. Another tool for this job is https://github.com/jmtd/crm114-spamd/blob/master/crm114-spamd.c. But it’s a lot less battle tested than SA

       @pndc @jmtd I read good things about rspamd, but when I went to look at how to get it running and it started with "Install redis" I bowed out. So still on SpamAssassin here.

       @noodles @pndc I think that's the system that is recommended in @mwl's email book. Likewise I'm squinting at the base level complexity

       @jmtd @noodles @pndc rspamd is scalable in a way that spamassassin is not, and it gave me much better results.but if your SA install works for you, no reason to switch.

       @jmtd I live and die by smokeping, not aware of anything that gives similar results.

       @pndc @mwl @noodles my plan for it is purely to use it as a vehicle for invoking crm114; I may disable all the other tests, hopefully I can avoid its performant pain points

       @jmtd @noodles @pndc I kind of want to say "kind of a Rube Goldberg contraption," but then I look at how my own servers are put together and realize this is perfectly tidy and 100% acceptable. :flan_XD:
