In your place I would utilize spamassassin to filter those outgoing messages. I use it on incoming email as filter with my email program. I pass each message to it and the return code tells me if it is spam or not. I then funnel messages marked as spam to a separate folder. In your case you would take each outgoing message and run it through spamassassin, evaluate the score assigned, and either pass it on or redirect it for alternate processing. Also by using spamassassin you can take advantage of its baysian analysis. You can train it so it recognizes the kind of traffic you expect to see as ham and spam. -- Scot L.
