This is great stuff. We have done parts of this for some time. The only piece I did not know about was Maia-Mailguard. But now I can put everything together under a GUI-per-user configurable roof.

Just another example of why I continue to renew my subscription, thanks.

Works like a charm

While the article didn't go into great depths on how the writer implemented this solution, I found that implementing this solution on Gentoo linux took me 4-5 unfocused days to accomplish. So far for the 4-5 days it's been active, it's blocked over 16,000 SPAM messages and viruses from our rather small company. Once we expand it's coverage to cover our clients as well, I expect this server to catch much more, yet still maintain decent performance.

Thanks LJ for pointing this solution out. I've got happy users now.

A howto???

I'm trying to do the solution in gentoo as well.

Rick Johnson how about a howto? Sounds like you made it work. You could help the rest of us stop that spam.

Or email what you did and I will make a howto for you.
