*snip* Two thoughts; A) Uphill fight to get any sane Admin to install / allow third-party MTA on his site - especially if (highly) non-standard. 'Too much spam' is survivable. 'Offline' and gone dark is not. B) To the extent a client HAS NO local admin, and/or said Admin DOES want to be free of the MTA burden, AND trusts your expertise, services, and site-visit support eg: *24x7x365 availability to keep running*.. It seems simpler to either migrate his whole MTA function to your rackspace, optionally leaving an on-site MTA as a relay, fallback inbound or even outbound-only. OR use a fairly sane and standard MTA on his site that remotely accesses (more of) your bespoke tools BL's, etc - and can be remotely admin'ed (if need be). IOW - sell 'specialty configuration and management', not full 'ownership and control'. Anything wanting on-site install/support, and clients are limited to bike-route distances. In any case - spam is no longer that hard to manage for Joe Average or his ISP, so any more complexity than what you already do is going to be harder to sell than to implement, and harder to support than either... even with at least one or two other staff - and trusting that the 'Key Man' continues to dodge gas main explosions and the like. BT,DT,GTTS *snip* JM2CW, but - with diminishing returns on filtering-for-hire, I'd be looking for what to do with the rest of a career...
