If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
Great piece

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.
