RE: [Nolug] Why I don't reply on...

I agree with the below statement. At the risk of being banned from this
list forever, I require Exchange/Blackberry servers (thank you sir, may
I have another?); hence I run Gentoo/Postfix as a public facing smtp
srv, together with amavisd-new, clamav, pyzor, razor, spamd (bayesian
disabled) and finally bogofilter (an excellent and FAST bayesian
filter). Once my smtp traffic clears the above it is handed off to
Exchange/BES for distribution. After "training" bogofilter this yields
an incredibly accurate multi-layer spam filter far superior to anything
I have seen.

Also, I set up an access hash for postfix to reject known spammy domains
ie aim.com, bigpenis.info etc.....

That being said, Gmail (actually opensuse.us - thanks Trey Fox no
relation to me)is my backup and is an excellent service.
Just my two cents....

Is it really *that* difficult to run an email server like exim or
postfix? Once you configure it properly, they just *work*.
