The thing that struck me, and admittedly this is coming from a Windows background, is the sheer amount of "stuff" you can do with an MTA like Postfix (or, I suspect most *nix MTAs).
Little things like being able to export a list of valid users to avoid all the dictionary spam, being able to RBL blocking for selected addresses.. it's great!

I am thinking to put a spam filter for Exchange 2000. I was thinking on using Spam Assasin on a Linux box (or maybe windows machine). But i was just wondering if anybody has tried Spamassasin with exchange before? DO they work together ? And if they do, where can I find some intstrusction how to do that ? Consider that I am totally new to spamassassin. Thanks Gentian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
