Also look into postfix along with policyd-weight (http://www.policyd-weight.org/). That's all I use and I probably get about 2 spam a day... I used to get 40-50... in a nutshell it checks multiple dnsbls and uses a scoring system to block it before you ever get the message body. And it caches results so it's pretty light weight. -philip On Fri, 20 Apr 2007, Thomas Mullins wrote: > A neighboring school system is using the Barracuda and really like it. > Can't comment on the Easyantispam.
