Does anyone have a suggestion for a robust and reliable SPAM blocker?

Exim has great features for denying, not just blocking, spam during the connection. That is it never get's accepted. This is b/c exim has very strong ACLs. It also has a robust concept of sender callout verification, which is perhaps the single most effective technique for blocking spoofed messages and most spam.


Aside from exim I also recommend crm114. (And watch Dr. Strangelove if you don't get the joke.)

I've been using the tiger server included spamassassin, but it's just not catching everything I want it to catch. I've done all the bug fixes (I hope) and it catches about 50% of all the spam. I work for a non-profit religious organization and nothing is more embarrassing than some of these viagra or sex messages getting through to one of our 70 year old ladies.

OMG! WTF happens when they turn on the TV and see ads for... viagra!

Some people need to act their age. ;)
