    MailScanner+SpamAssassin with Bayes and SA Custom rules is just as
    easy to set up and use. It is very configurable. Tack on ClamAV and
    bingo! Spam and Virus checking. Add MailWatch and Active Spam Killer
    (ASK) and you have a kick-*** mail system. You can even work
    procmail+bogofilter into this scenario!

    Some Links:

    http://www.mailscanner.info - MailScanner

    http://www.mailscanner.info/install/spamassassin.shtml - MailScanner
    w/SpamAssassin - Though I used the RPM's from the SpamAssassin.org
    site and MailScanner worked just fine.

    http://www.mailscanner.info/serve/cache/275.html - SA Custom Rules
    sets. 'Rules Du Jour' is awesome at downloading more common 'rules
    sets' that catch most spam when there are updates.

    http://www.clamav.net - ClamAV Virus Scanner, loaded right from
    tarball, edit .conf file and walah! Set up Freshclam to pull down
    auto updates and your done!

    http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net - Web-based front-end for
    MailScanner, installs in minutes and keeps track of statistics, even
    generates graphs! You can view messages that are quarantined. You can
    even use it to feed SA-Learn, SpamAssassin's bayesian filter, from
    quarantined messages. I also have spam trap email addresses set up
    for this purpose.

    http://www.paganini.net/ask - Active Spam Killer. I added this as a
    final catch all for spam that does end up getting through (though
    this is rare) to the user. This is a challenge/respond system where
    senders that are not already on a whitelist must 'validate' simply by
    replying to a confirmation message. Works much like a mail list does,
    and end users can configure/manage everything through email once it
    is setup.
