Slightly old thread, but we should clear any misconceptions. MagicSpam is NOT anything like SpamAssassin. LinuxMagic has been developing Anti-Spam solutions for the ISP and Telco markets for quite some time, focusing on the SMTP transaction layer. This approach gives a more 'Zero Day' style protection, as it can identify spam sources prior to accepting the email, reducing backscatter and overhead.
Mail Servers should have the protection during the SMTP transaction, and we have been porting our technology to other mail servers which do not have this ability. Our first ports were to Qmail style mail servers, and since then we have ported to many others including Linux and Windows platforms. Just visit the forums, and see what customers have to say about this product, as it speaks for itself. We have patent pending technology in place, to provide for an especially unique methodology, and more importantly, we make it very easy to install and operate. http://www.magicspam.com and http://forums.wizard.ca/viewforum.php?f=16 Aaron Wolfe wrote: > > On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 1:11 PM, <r...@unrealstyle.com> wrote: >> Does anybody have any experience with this product? >> > > It appears *noone* has any experience with it...
