Hi Sten,

I ran /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new  for a year or so.  I must admit, I
didn't update it so more and more spam made it's way through.  A mate tipped
me off on trying:

 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner

Much easier to install than amavisd-new.  I found it easier to understand
the config file too.  If you really get keen, there is a book you can
purchase and it has great online help.  There is also a nice optional
webpage stats port/package:=20=20

 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner-mrtg

Now I only have 1 spam getting through every 3 days or so out of 350+ daily
spam emails.  I now have it running on 4 different sites.

Cheers,

Paul Hamilton
