[TriLUG] SPAM filters

[ryan.wheaton at attbi.com]

thanks for the help guys.  i know i don't live there anymore, but you're always 
the best resource :-)

i searched the trilug archives (google) for "spamassassin exchange" 
and "spamassassin outlook" to no avail.  just searching "spamassassin" brought 
up about a million messages.  

i did do a quick google (universal) search and found this though:
http://www.geocities.com/scottlhenderson/spamfilter.html

i read through most of those million messages, and also saw something about a 
program called mailscanner that has hooks into it for spamassassin.  but 
someone noted that it requires you to purchase a certain AV program.  i didn't 
see a reply to this, did someone find a way to do it with norton or mcafee?

thanks again,
