Hey, finally a few that use rspamd (and some using amavis/spamassassin AND rspamd)! Thanks to all you folks for chiming in. I just wanted to see what some current pre-packaged options are so that I could poke at what they're bundling and (hopefully) a bit of a "why" on each. This is a great haul, and in a few months you'll see me bring this thread back from the dead with a little summary of what I cobbled together from a few of these attempts at unifying a bunch of open source mail stuff into one big ball of mail goo. Thankfully I currently have zero interest in contacts, calendars and all that stuff.
