Yes Mike, I'm actually still pulling mail in with Mail Essentials as it has a nifty mail archiver built in (eventually I'd like to switch that to the linux box too), then I'm passing mail on to Postfix, then on to Exchange 2000.
The whole whitelist/blacklist thing is next I guess, once I have the server doing the spam and virus analysis. I would like to replicate Gfi's ability to allow users to blacklist and whitelist addresses and mark content as spam if possible. No idea how that all works (or does it?)
