Yes, I appreciate everyone's help. I finally just threw a copy of spamass-milter on there (already had the clamav-milter running) and it seems to be working pretty good so far. Just a couple little issues to clear up. Specifically: spamass-milter[27130]: Could not extract score from <No, score=0.1 required=5.0 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO ^Iautolearn=failed version=3.0.1> So if anyone has any idea on that one I'd appreciate it. > We use Exim4 with sa-exim.

I know sendmail has LDAP support for sure. I'd implement something similar but I don't like the idea of an e-mail gateway in the DMZ being able to query the Exchange service on the private network via LDAP. Pix would end up looking like swiss cheese with all those holes in it :) Thanks again for your help everyone.
