*brain-throb* Okay - My system here is the firewall portforwards connections on port 25 to a linux box running exim. The linux box then sends the mail to the exchange server via smtp. Outbound mail goes back the same way.
Since theres no local delivery - can I use spamassassin ? (the reason for the torturous path is to shield the exchange server against the nasty world, and to use some of the anti-spam features of exim as opposed to ms exchange's attitude of "don't hurt me please") On Thu, 2002-05-23 at 15:14, Nick Rout wrote: > > Can you give the list the skinny on how it interacts with the flow of > > mail? > > > > Does spamassassin sit before or after your MTA? or does it bolt on > > similar to a squid redirector?
