I am using greylisting (milter-greylist) and virus-filtering (clamav with clamav-milter) in sendmail, plus I have spamassassin available to the users via procmail (which is set as sendmail's LDA). This setup works very well for my users. Setting this stuff up in sendmail is also a good time to set up SSL/TLS and SMTP AUTH. :) Good luck, Josh -- Josh Tolbert hemi@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.
