While LSU is using a commercial product BrightMail or similar, I am using SpamAssassin with 1 RBL, Mimedefang, and Protector with good result. Coupled with the filters built in to the Thunderbird/Mozilla apps, my users are only seeing 1 or 2 spams a day. Other wise it would be hundreds of spams a day per user without the SpamAssassin filters. I would be interested in knowing which Real Time Black Holes our members are using. I have considered using Clamav, as it has a mature stable antivirus utility, but the blocking action of protector and Minedefang has worked very for us. As my shop is nearly 98% Linux and 100% Mozilla/Firefox, many of the Windows problems have not had such invasive outcome. The issue of spam will continue to be a problem. Using Linux/Unix/OSX over Windows is the number one best method to prevent spyware, virus. Using Mozilla/Thunderbird/Opra on any platform has prevented activeX apps, popups, and spyware. Bob --
