Been doing a good bit of server work today. Implementing new AV, new anti-spam, server upgrades, new php, new mysql all sorts of fun stuff. So if you send email and it bounced, lemme know... via forums or something cause obviously email wouldnt be the way to do it ;)

What SPAM and AV utilities are you using?

MailScanner as the front end. It uses Spamassasin, and Vipuls Razor2 for anti spam. It then uses TrendAV's scan engine (had it from the previous email filter) for AV duty and as redundancy, ClamAV (freeware).

Those alone have lowered spam getting through prolly 95% or better. pretty damn impressive. For almost all freeware stuff.

We are very happy with spam assasian as well (use it on our linux email server and use No Spam Today on our Exchange Server (which uses Spam Assasian). However I have been looking into AV solutions.
