I'm another Alligate fan on the Windows platform. It is a very smart and effective product. I have conservative settings that stick close to the defaults and my configuration rejects 80% of the inbound connections.Before I implemented Alligate, my Declude was hurting because of my large filter files. A combination of large filter files and large volumes meant heavy CPU and Disk utilization and conflict. I'm also a MessageSniffer fan, and know that you could be very happy with Pete's recommended solution. Implementing an MTA in front of your content scanner and mailserver is a resource that is well spent; the two layers have very different workloads, and I think you'll find that you need to upgrade the hardware on the content scanner less if you have an MTA that is filtering the connections first.

I can of course get an even faster mailserver but I think I would be better of with an extra smtp server in front of my mailserver which filters the most blatant spam mail purly based on session info. What passes that server can go on to my IMail server and have more contect based filtering using Declude, Sniffer, InvURIBL etc. What would be a good first step server? I have experience with (Debian) Linux so a Linux based solution is no problem.
