I don't know if there's a consensus per se, but here's what I do ... I use mimedefang (http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/) with a call to spamassassin. This lets me screen out email worms and the like at the same time I'm killing spam. The relevant bits from my .mc file: define(`SMART_HOST', my.exchange.server)dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/run/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:5m;R:5m;E:5m') Note that this is an inbound only server ... the exchange server sends its mail out on its own. Graham PS. The libmilter/mfapi.h: error you're getting maybe be due to not having the include files from the sendmail distribution installed ... I don't know how you installed it (rpm vs source or whatever). ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
