All

A friend, who is the sys admin at a small local not for profit organiztion
(Family Services Center), is having a really hard time with tons of spam
bombarding the organization's email server.

He asked me, because I am known as the "Linux Zealot" if there exists a product
that could be built on a small linux box that would augment their existing email
server. (I think they run Exchange and use outlook as the client)

He mentioned creating a server that would sniff the email as it came in before
it hit the mail server and kill the spam. I don't know if this can be done or not.

This is somewhat outside my area of expertise but it sounds like a great
learning experience and a chance to help a worthwhile not for profit organization.

I'll get more info on the actual hardware and software they use and report back.

Regards
Russ Wright
