Just curious: what can't mailsite do for anti-spam defense that
sendmail can? MAPS? ORBS? DNS validations?
If you want to stick with mailsite for its ODBC support, you can use
IMGate (in my sig, it's free) to protect Mailiste and give this level
of reject rate and daily traffic with a medium-powerd PC for the
IMGate relay hub, from today's logs:

There is another Imail/IMGate user who avg's a 50% reject rate every day.

config than senmail. I give you the proven, canned config >
