Totally seconded - I actually sent them a donation this Xmas.

On my prototype here - I used spamcop and CBL blacklists in tandem with Norton front ended by a spampal config that acts as a weird sort of Spam Firewall for W2K. Works great - very light weight on the processor and the bandwidth.

You can set custom rules for config and it polls the e-mail server for legacy policy. It has dropped spam inbound to about 4 a day against about

Sending the spampal guy something next Christmas too.

What bugs me more is the compromised machines left on the network myself. Bill Gates is dead wrong - the only way to fix this is centralize the smtp backbone so it checks for virus in motion and start holding ISP's accountable through IP allocation fees. I hit the Norton site only to find out 2003 is already patching for buffer..

I've picked up the spam filtering directory over at zeal/looksmart on a voluntary basis and have been reading up on it a bit lately. As near as I can figure no one in the food chain is interested in stopping it at all - but they are more than willing to sell you something that might help stop the itch.

It really is like an electric plague!
