Tired of Being Screwed By Cox (no pun intended)

[Greg]

You man want to take a look at spambayes. Yes it is still clasified as 
alpha but
I have been using it successfuly on my server for couple of months.  
Just set it
up in a prxy mode and train it.  Works like a charm.

Greg

p.s.
It is pretty easy to set up postfix to listen on more then one port 
therefore you could
send mail through it even with port 25 blocked.
