We use Exchange 2000 on our back-end server which is a Compaq DL380 w/4gb memory. Currently we use McAfee's Groupshield on this unit.
I'm not sure on an external call from Ex 2000. What was your experience with spam before and after implementation of SA?

I am one of the first to have jumped on this wagon, what type of mail server are you planning to install this in? Does it provide some way to tie in an external program? Each mail server is very different how they handle this, we used Vopmail and it provides what's called an "agent" which is a batch file you specify to be executed upon arrivial of mail. This works fine but you need to know how to program batch files... How you accomplish this depends on what your mail server allows you to do. It sure is easier setting up a freebsd box to run only e-mail and not have to worry about it for a long time! We haven't touched our mail servers except to upgrade our clamAV once a year.
When I ran SA under Win32, I had to keep a close eye on things to make sure they didn't blow up and let me assure you THEY WILL!

I want to implement SpamAssassin http://spamassassin.apache.org/ 3 but I am just a Windows guy. I use McAfee's Spamkiller 2.7 on their e500 (linux) and it's just not doing the job. Someone please step me through the process of where and what to place SpamAssassin on. I see the wonderful reviews but this Windows guy knows nothing about linux.
Thank anyone very much!!!!
