You always have time to advertise content filters being "bad", so I just have to make a pointless rebuttal.. Can you tell me any big public service (not a one man server) that doesn't use content filtering at all? By public I don't mean a site that has the ability to block freemailers, universities, etc hacked accounts.. I'm sure any serious site uses lots of SMTP time rejects, but you _need_ some sort of content filtering for the rest. Unless you bear the burden on clients MUA. PS. I think I've spent maybe an hour or two maintaining our mail server in the last few months, and it's still running fine.. how is that not efficient? My work time costs much more than the imaginary network and server resources.
