Hi David. Thanks for releasing this to small orgs. Quick Question: What is the advantage to using the Canit system over the free Mimedefang? Do I have the ability it Canit to customize the mimedefang filter to behave similar to standard Mimedefang? For instance, I like to do things like check and reject based on the HELO parameter (I saw in canit where I can set a rule to add points to an email based on the HELO command, but I want to reject right out if the connection system claims to be from my domain). I also have secondary MXs that are not under my control and have had to pay a good bit of attention to my mimedefang filter to accommodate for that (like discard instead of reject if the SPAM is coming from my secondary MX). Again, I saw something about that in the canit user manual, but since I didn't get very far in the setup, I didn't pay much attention to that section. You may stop reading here, if you like. :) Boring background stuff: I was planning to use this at home, but my Fedora system is a bit past Core 3 and canit didn't work well on it. For instance, postgresql starts, but gives "failed" on startup even though a status later says its running. Also, my system seems to have stopped setting cookies and I can't log into the canit web interface. HOWEVER, on a newly installed FC3 system I have, it installs and behaves just as the docs says...so it seems that it is my system that is slightly borked. SO, I asked the question above to be sure I am going to gain a decided benefit before I reinstall my mail server from scratch.
