Best thing is to first look at which tools &a= mp; config
freebsd.org
currently use for their lists. Then look at= what other full
automatic
anti spam tools are ready & available to = integrate. ie this whol
topic does not belong on hardware@, its a = generic background to
all lists,
so should be discussed with the FreeBSD= postmaster team.
Cheers,
Julian
IMHO, FreeBSD does a = great job of this
