Re: SpamAssassin w/POP3 & SMTP outsourced e-mail server...

[Jesse Shumaker]

This looks good and I think I may try this perl module. It seems that it's geared towards a single workstation and not a network of machines. They say that you point your client to localhost, which means that each machine must have this installed. How are you guys running this so that you can have one centralized SA server? Also, how does the SA box authenticate with the ISP's POP servers for each e-mail client? In my organization each user has their own password and username for their e-mail account.

you can try this: http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/

It is written in Perl and apparently works on Win and Linux boxes.

I believe it is the one we're using in my organization. Very stable.
