Still strugglin' along with my anti-spam postfix/spamassassin smtp-relay project. Let me back up a step and see if someone can answer this question. SHOULD I even be using postfix? I just need to build a box to sit between my firewall and Exchange server to relay smtp mail, and filter out spam in the process. Can spamassassin do this, or do you need an MTA? (I don't need to hold any mail on the relay box - it just passes the mail to and from the exchange server). And yes, I'm all over the spamassassin and postfix group list archives and HOWTOs, etc., etc. I just can't seem to figure this thing out. I'm too new, and don't know code, either. :( Any help appreciated! Scott ----------------------------- Tired of Microsoft Windows? Visit http://www.lycoris.com!
