I have been talking with a Linux guy (you know the never ending kind of war, my Linuxreligion is better than your Freebsdreligion, easier to install , upgrade blah blah blah). Anyway, talking about the best option for filtering spam and having an email solution for personal simple use (small office, 3-4 people) that sendmail could be the simples and the best option to follow, with some rules like spamcop, rbl , etc, could be fine. I said that I am not sure but that even spamassin could be configured to run under send mail or if that does not work that to move from sendmail to another could be the solution and not so difficult, like postfix. Am I wrong? could be that movement easy to do? I mean to move from sendmail to postfix to be able to have spamassasin run. Or it is better to have that solution (have mail server with spam filters) could be get with some other mix of software and tools? (of course my linux friend says that they have rpm's ready to solve that even when do not know how it works, not interested in that) Can you comment on your experience to accomplish this? Thank in advance and I am sorry if this sound too basic. Jorge Biquez
