Hi Sten, I ran /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new for a year or so. I must admit, I didn't update it so more and more spam made it's way through. A mate tipped me off on trying: /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner Much easier to install than amavisd-new. I found it easier to understand the config file too. If you really get keen, there is a book you can purchase and it has great online help. There is also a nice optional webpage stats port/package:=20=20 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner-mrtg Now I only have 1 spam getting through every 3 days or so out of 350+ daily spam emails. I now have it running on 4 different sites.
