Tired of Being Screwed By Cox (no pun intended)

[Thomas Cameron]

Do you use SpamAssassin?  It is trivially easy to set up, even on a
relay-only server.  If you want to know how (it took me quite a while to get
it really easy), let me know.

We have reduced spam to the inbox by around 90% for several of our clients.
All it takes is about a P-II 350 or better with a bunch of RAM and a base
Linux install (I use RH).
