Losing My SPAM Battle

From: Carlos Williams (carloswillgmail.com)

I am running Postfix 2.3 as a corporate email server. I love running Postfix
and don't want to switch to something else however SPAM is getting way out
of control on my companies domain. Everyone is complaining about SPAM and I
have to find a solution to this. Right now I have the following installed:

- CentOS 5.1 = OS
- Postfix 2.3 = MTA
- Dovecot 1.0 = MDA
- Amavisd-new = Not Configured
- Spamassassin = Not Configured
- ClamAV = Not Configured
- Procmail = Not Configured

My problem is that I am being suggested online to have ClamAV and
Spamassassin run via Amavisd-new. I have never done this before and I am
very scared I will end up losing control of this email server in place for
Exchange or something like that. I want to do everything in my power to keep
Postfix running here but I need to find a way to integrate SPAM scoring and
SPAM filtering along side with the MTA / MDA.

Does anyone have a complete guide or anything they recommend? I have read
Postfix.org and there are so many different manuals and all of them seem to
do things their own way. I just want one that works. At this point the
company I work for would even wire a consultant to come out to Orlando and
help us get this running.

Thanks for any assistance!
