We have about 20-30 k of mail flowing into our central mail server using
Debian and MS/SA. We installed the RulesDuJour and some of the other filters
people have written as well as the new SpamCop_URI and we see only 10-20
sneak in over night. Not to shabby :)
You may want to join the MailScanner and SpamAssassin lists if you really
want to keep on top of this (it can be almost a full time job in its self).
