I did. I just wanted something more powerfull, and mailagent
is the most advanced filtering system I have seen. Oh, and the return
mail is my idea; and I do monitor the traffic -- In my opinion I have
not exceeded propriety.
If this were a large installation, and I had the power to
automatically censor all my users mail, I would have consdered a
centralized system. Luckily, this is a single user subnet.
