You could setup a virtualdomain loop and run everything through a simple .qmail that uses 822header (or similar tool) to check if there's an X-SPAM header or something and dump it into a mailbox. > I would agree that a router would be more secure, but I am limited to > what hardware I have on hand. A 200MHz Pentium can easily handle 20Mbps of traffic, and that's the kind of junk most techie people have a few of in the closet. Having been through a lot of nasty stuff in the last 8 years, a router or bridge with a firewall has saved me hours of time and pays for itself inside of a month. I also quite understand being limited to hardware one has on hand. The supply chain around here has taught me to be quite a packrat and hoarder. There were times that I could assemble entire machines out of stuff I had hidden in my desk. Now, I've got a spare Opteron 246 server with an LSI MegaRAID 300-8X SATA, and the only power supply I have is a weedy 250W that barely manages to turn the CPU fan. Been waiting a month now to get my hands on a new power supply. Hmm... one of the web guys just got a new machine, lemme go find my screwdriver. At one point I was writing a book based on my job, tenatively titled "How to SysAdmin for $10/day" -- Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications
