spam filtering

[Ali Asad Lotia]

i would recommend that you look at amavisd-new for spam filtering. it 
plugs in between your mta (postfix, qmail, sendmail) and cyrus. there 
are also options to allow people to opt out of the spam filtering etc. 
pretty solid piece of software. i am using it with spamassassin and 
clamav (for virus checking). it can use many other anti virus packages. 
the url for amavisd-new is:
