| smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain
| broken_sasl_auth_clients = no
p It's pretty clear. We chose dovecot as our SASL, set path to it withing /var/spool, and enable it. Then we set option to not allow anonymous connections. Set our domain for SASL, and wether let the clients with obsolete version of AUTH command in or not, we chose not to.
p It's time for encryption, lets start with client part of it.
p It's time for encryption, lets specify a list of high ciphers to use:

p High means just that those ciphers are strong. I took them from a file #[code options-ssl-nginx.conf] generated by certbot, and ditched 128 byte key size.

h3#art-4 #[a(href='#art-4') 4. Dovecot POP3/IMAP server with Sieve mail filter]
h3#art-5 #[a(href='#art-5') 5. SpamAssassin spam filter]
p Here we are working with a #[code local.cf] file to configure SpamAssassin.
p I didn't any fancy tweaking, didn't make any custom rules. I just changed options presented in file.
p I left #[code rewrite_header] option commented since I don't want to append anything to a Subject header of spam messages.
p Option #[code report_safe] I set to 2 to save spam messages as a text/plain attachment instead of modifying original message.
p #[code trusted_networks] sets networks and hosts that are considered trusted, i.e. not spammers.
p #[code lock_method] left to be flock, since I don't use NFS.
p #[code required_score] left to be its default value of 5.0.
p I use Bayesian classifier, so options #[code use_bayes] and #[code bayes_auto_learn] are set to 1.
p I chose to normalise charset to UTF-8 with option #[code normalize_charset 1].
h4#art-5-1 #[a(href='#art-5-1') 5.1. Updating built-in rule set]
p I sometimes run #[code sa-update] util to update built-in rules and pre-compile them with #[code sa-compile] util. After that restart SpamAssassin.
p And so SpamAssassin make use of compiled rules ensure that a plugin Rule2XSBody in a #[code v320.pre] is uncommented.
h4#art-5-1 #[a(href='#art-5-2') 5.2. Bayesian classifier training]
p After you set up SpamAssassin for the first time you have to train Bayesian classifier. It will start to work after 200 messages will be examined.
p For training use #[code sa-learn] utility and use #[code --ham] and #[code --spam] to mark messages as normal mail and spam. I additionaly have to specify a path to database with #[code --dbpath /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin] option, otherwise it will complain, so try first without it.
h3#art-6 #[a(href='#art-6') 6. OpenDKIM signing and verifying filter]
p On ArchLinux OpenDKIM is unable to write in #[code /run], so I created #[code /var/spool/opendkim] directory for it.
