I'm working on that right now, actually... :) There are so many options and combinations out there, it wouldn't=20 be worth it to list them. =46rom my experience (somewhat limited)... If you're running=20 sendmail on FreeBSD, then SpamAssassin and clamav running thorugh=20 MIMEDefang is probably the best way to go (MIMEDegang is pretty=20 cool and it simplifies the whole process... and it supports a=20 lot of other stuff too) With sendmail on OpenBSD, it's probably SpamAssassin and clamav=20 running through smtp-vilter (but clamav and smtp-vilter are still=20 very much a work in progress on obsd, and will cause hair to fall=20 out until at least the next release... parsed me off. :( ) Really though, there are lots of possibilities... I would start=20 with a google with something like: bsd +u're_MTA-of-choise_goes_here +spam +filter +scan HTH Mike
