the spam / AV scanning. I use Exim exclusively, and have this exact

Do you think you could provide me with some documentation on how you're doing this? That is the biggest challenge for me right now. I want to do what you say you've created at home but don't have documentation on how to set this up. I'm so new to all these mail programs in Linux and need some solid direction to learn how to integrate everything into an ultimate spam/virus killing macine ;)
thanks

Fetchmail can deliver to procmail directly, or any MDA for that
matter (I've heard of people using maildrop as well).

If you're interested in doing AV scanning in addition to spam
scanning / tagging, then you're probably better off to have fetchmail
deliver POP'ed mail to an MTA like Postfix or Exim, and have it do
the spam / AV scanning. I use Exim exclusively, and have this exact
set up running on my home server for friends and family. Works great.

Since he's lost the ability to do SMTP-time rejection, what with
using fetchmail and all, I'd go with per-user bayes databases. Just
make sure your users spend a little time training it up front. You
might want to look at a web-based front-end to handle bayes training
and per-user settings. Check the wiki for options.
