There is the Postfix, Amavis-New, OpenLDAP, Apache, SpamAssassin, Squid, LVS to name but a few. Open Source as you point out, but morally bankrupt - but what do you expect from a company owned by a spammer and staffed by chimps?
Particularly diststful is the selling of other peoples work and rules as part of an 'energize update' package - but this is a clam list and this is all OT, but knowing who you are Dennis and why you jumped out to shout about Barracuda's stance on someone else trying to stop cuda selling Open Source, it was reasonable to point it out. > > dp > _______________________________________________ > Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net > http://www.clamav.net/support/ml _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
