Hi,
Recently I hear very good things about ASSP. It seems alot faster and accurate that SpamAssassin. Did you guys already review it? Any possibility to include it MailScanner package instead of SA?
Best.

We have no plans to include ASSP in our services. I don't think it could be used with MailScanner, only instead of MailScanner. I have tested it a bit and found it quite complicated to use (therefore it would be difficult to set up and support) and there were problems with it blocking legitimate mail.
ASSP seems to be less configurable at the user level, and you also cannot release mail that has been blocked, as you can with MailScanner. I'm not sure what benefits there would be in comparison with MailScanner, SpamAssassin, and some exim tweaks such as dictionary attack protection and ratelimiting.
At the end of the day it is down to your own personal preference, but it's not something we will be supporting in the foreseeable future.
