Thanks William for this and for the work u've done with the free URL list. I invested in Imail originally b/c it was the only thing of its kind (back in the 3.x-7.x days) and it kicked PostOffice's butt which I migrated from. I stopped throwing any $ at it aside from mxguard which was pretty much plug_and_play. If I had the time or remembered much from my unix days I'd have setup and Imgate by now also.
I'm not sure where I'll go from here, but am fairly certain 7.x was our last purchase of Imail. I will either keep this running and add freeware spam apps to it or go with smartermail. I should also take the time to point out this list has been invaluable in helping with everything Imail, and so much off topic. Thank u to the guys still on this list who have helped over the years.

Bryan, I have no plans to dump Imail altogether. At least not right away. Unless things change drastically, I will likely continue using Imail as a cheap (already paid for) platform for antivirus scanning (thanks to MxGuard!) and do some content checks that are simply not feasible at this time to move elsewhere. I will basically be using an Imgate/Postfix for initial RBL -REJECTS- (Imail still has no intention of adding this important functionality to their software) and some other basic tests like Greylisting and basic tarpitting. The mail will then be scanned by Imail as a type of secondary gateway, and then mail will finally wind-up on the actual mail server, which I assume at this point will be a combo of Courier, Squirrelmail, DSpam (for bayesian filtering) and Postfix. I have already converted the URL blacklist to a Postfix compatible regexp file. I do not have that file publicly available on a regularly-updated basis yet though. I am most likely going to run everything off of MySQL eventually, so a bit of work will be needed in making these individual files easily available for other Postfix users. For anyone who already uses Postfix/IMGate though, I will be happy to send them a copy of my current config files, which are basically a combination of config files based upon IMGate, SecuritySage and a number of other sources, along with my own custom blacklist and rules. If anyone wants a copy of my current Postfix config files, feel free to e-mail me off-list. I am currently running Postfix/IMGate on Debian Linux. I would suggest than anyone interested in setting up such a gateway see Len's website and ask for his config files first. Mine basically just expanded upon his. I plan to keep my URL blacklist free for Imail users indefinitely, as converting the two file formats between one another is not all that difficult.
