Hmmm ... let's just say that I don't agree with this. Nor do 1,001 (10,001, 100,001?) Unix sysadmins that use Spamassassin. > Can others see how valuable a leading edge feature like this could be in > Evo? What on earth is the point of duplicating, quadrupling, 10-folding, 100-folding, 1000-folding a service that can take place at a single point? Even if the spam attacks are so horrendous, that one has to have a dedicated smtp router to cope with it? Which may or may not be likely. How about going back to the time when there was no virus (G*d save us, Microsoft clients) scanner on the incoming servers? Sorry, but the idea does not appeal and I would not use it.
