If you are using sendmail, MimeDefang (http://www.mimedefang.org/) provides an efficient milter interface and lets you combine the spamassassin, clamav, and any other scanning and filtering operations you want, controlled by a small snippet of perl. > When it comes to fierwalling - is it possible to use the one that > is pre-built into the fedora release? Yes - if you have 2 nics and install the k12ltsp distribution it will come up with a firewall on the outside and act as a NAT gateway. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
