amavis sucks.
use mimedefang. have it call spamassassin and vipuls razor and file::scan

you could just setup fetchmail on the gateway to pull their mail from 
telestra. then they could just use POP off the internal interface of the 
gateway.

I can work with you offline if you want to go this route (writing it all up 
for the sxs site of course)

setting up a server for

2002-07-12 Thread Keith Antoine

I have been asked by some photographer friends to setup a 'gateway' for their 
lans. They all have broadband internet access that they need to be able to 
secure, they are on XP at the moment. They wish to be able to cull for virus 
and spam. I have built a machine with Suse and was going to install 
spamassasin and amavis.

Essentially as they are on Telstra cable, which frowns on servers, so  how can 
I get the mail down and use the box to strip mail on it way to the main 
machines on the lan. Suggestions advice etc greatly appreciated.
