you can try:
http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/
but then you need to learn qmail as your MTA

tackle content filtering. Along with squid you'll need something that does the actual
filtering (DansGuardian - licensed, or there are several open source ones that do url
filtering). Trying to put all this together (especially on one box - and being somewhat
of a newbie) is going to set you up for a *lot* of frustration if not failure.

Squid proxy server can do this. You can run it on the same box as SA, but I don't recomend it. Not unless you have some good iptable (or ipchain) rules to lock it down.
I've had a test box setup in my office running Squid for about 6 months now. I haven't touched it in 5 months! I need to clone myself to get more done. :-)
But you're jumping into an ocean here. I know because I do it all the time. If you want to do things right, your going to suddenly have to learn:
Kernel Recompiles
IPtables or ipchains
CPAN (Not much to learn other then syntax, but still more stuff to cram into brain.)
Spamassassin
Squid
Some MTA
Not trying to scare anyone away. But sometimes it gets overwhelming when you try to do the 'next' step and find you have to learn something else. But when you get all this free stuff running great on and old computer....man that feels good :)

I would suggest using RedHat as there are many HOWTO's for using it with SA. You can either buy the RH CD's from a retailer or download them from the Internet.

Jean-Paul,
It really depends on your environment. I'm currently running a P-III 500 as my company's spam filter (2000 employees), but we're going to give it a "real server" now that its worth has been proven.

Hi all
I'm new to this, so bear with me,
what kind of box do I need to load spamassasin on, and where can I get it.
Note: I already downloaded the program spamassasin, just need to know where to get the OS to utilize
