I looked into IMGate. I'm currently using iMail as a gateway for some of
our internal mail servers as well as for some of our external e-mail
servers. It looks interesting. I haven't downloaded it and tried it
though.

# Have you taken a look at IMgate? It's free software and requires
# minimal hardware on your end. There is also Declude which is the lowest
# price anti-spam gateway that I know of short of being free. It
# is loaded on
# the same server as your Imail. Both solutions have received good
