I do exactf;ly this, but with postfix calling amavisd-new, which calls SA, and then forwards to my Exchange 5.5 server. > 1. that i don't need to create accounts for everyone on the exchange > server? Correct. I defined my Exchange server domain as a "relay domain", and I only accept email for users in that domain that are listed in a table. > 2. that it sholdn't deliver to the linux box at all, but simply scan and > forward. > 3. no mail will be deleted, but will simply have the spam score in the > message header and the Spam in the subject line. then the users of the > exchange server will be able to filter based on Spam Score or the subject > line or whatever. > 4.

I actually quarantine any spam above a certain limit (i.e., sends to a special mailbox on the Exchange server), and make good use of RBL-checking by postfix. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
