This was one of the reasons that I created the Gateway version of
TrashFinder. I let it send and deliver all mail, and of course it doesn't
have the bugs that IMS had in that area (it might have others, of course).
It sits on our DMZ machine and filters everything before IMS has a chance at
it. I don't think I could still run IMS otherwise.
Unfortunately, since you can't change the receiving port of IMS, you have to
run TrashFinder Gateway on a separate machine, which means it's not
necessarily for everybody.
I thought about replacing IMS completely (given that TF Gateway does many of
the hard tasks already), but didn't much want to write POP3 and mailing list
support. Maybe I'll do that someday.
