There are several: MimeDefang, Spamassassin-Milter and amavisd-new come to mind. MimeDefang and Spamassassin-Milter work as MILTERS (see: smtpd_milters or MILTER_README in Postfix). amavisd-new may be integrated either as MILTER or as content_filter or smtpd_proxy_filter using either SMTP or LMTP. You probably want amavisd-new if you also want a content filter to identify and classify other mail content categories (virus, banned, spam, undecipherable and, surprise, clean messages) <http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.postfix.html> p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563
