heh...  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
