    I am trying to find a freeware e-mail spam filtering tool for a SuSE 7.2
    server at work.

    I've had a look but none of the ones I've seen seem to be able to cope with
    my particular situation.

    My setup consists of a SuSE 7.2 box running sendmail which relays mail to
    and from another box running Lotus Domino (under W2K). i.e. all mail sent
    from the Domino server goes via sendmail on the SuSE box to the outside
    world.

    Incoming mail comes in from the ISP via POP3 from many mailboxes using
    fetchmail. This mail is forwarded to the Domino server via sendmail. No
    mail is delivered locally on the SuSE box, sendmail ONLY acts as a relay.

    Spamassassin and nearly all the other anti-spam solutions and how-tos I've
    seen all seem to require local mail delivery at the end of the process. I
    haven't seen any solutions which can cope with my situation.

    I am currently using mailfilter which does catch some of the spam but it is
    a very basic solution and I'm looking for something a bit more intelligent.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

    TIA

    Sean.
