I run a fairly light weight email server only doing a coulple of thousand emails a day. Mailgraph is a great port to integrate as well as it graphs how many emails have been blocked due to spam/virus etc. Cheers, Terry -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Pollywog Sent: Tuesday, 2 October 2007 8:48 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: best spam filter port(s) for postfix?

(In case I can't find anything on Google). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
