I was going to recommend that, but from my experience, there is no real *easy* way to allow users directly to modify their own settings. I am probably wrong though. Another solution (which is also not a do-it-yourself), is http://barracuda.com. We switched from Postini to an internal Barracuda cluster and have never looked back. I might add that I personally run an ancient version of SpamAssassin on my personal box which still works, and I have an upgraded box coming down the pipe. I have no experience with having inexperienced users manage their own account with it though. Steve
