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.

and where may I find some usefull info, except positive feedbacks in the
forum and marketing bullsh*t on the page?
Now, now. It's been said many times that there's a whole host of
corporate managers out there who are too incompetent/timid/whatever to
ever employ any solution in their enterprise that doesn't have a vendor
somewhere that they are paying money to. This is a corporate mindset
thing, and IT managers with that mindset are not going to give a rat's
ass if there's community forums or not.
Those managers operate under the assumption that I'm going to bring
this vendor in and he's going to make his stuff work, and all I'm
going to do is pay him whatever he asks for with my employers money,
and by God if he makes me look bad by not getting his stuff to work,
then I'll sue him for every penny I sent to him and then some.
If LinuxMagic wants to take a bunch of open source stuff and make it
work for those people, more power to them. And if they kick some
development work back to the open source projects that they used as
a base, then fan tas-tilly-astic.
LM doesn't put pricing on their website for their stuff so that
immediately puts them in the category of "if you have to ask you can't
afford it" just like those fancy French restaurants out there.
I don't dine there, and it sounds like you don't either, so why
waste your breath bitching at those who do?
