Hi Greg.
I suggest that you take a good look at ASSP (assp.sourceforge.net). I have it running at 3 of my clients' sites now (they all have iMail as their mail server) and it's doing an incredible job of stopping spam.
I "discovered" ASSP through this forum. ASSP is reporting 67%, 82%, and 92% of these 3 servers' mail as spam, with startlingly few false positives. It's free(!), written in Perl (open-source under the GPL), will run on many platforms, including W2k/XP and LInux, and will run on the same server as iMail.
After a couple of days' "training", ASSP needs very little maintenance. Check it out.
