The author is a security expert and knows his stuff. However, it is also possibly the easiest to configure... it mostly works out of the box. The only thing you should have to change is the my_* parameters and the relayhost, which you set to your ISP's SMTP server. Please note that you will probably have to relay through their SMTP server if you are on a DSL or cable subnet, because compromised home users are a big source of spam and so these netblocks are on blacklists already. Also, some ISPs don't trust their users to run mail servers or mail clients and block port 25 in one direction or another. I would say that this is effective at stopping spam but I wouldn't want to use one of those ISPs. -- "Cryptography is nothing more than a mathematical framework for discussing various paranoid delusions." -- Don Alvarez <URL:http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/> -><-
