[Mimedefang] MIMEDefang 2.3 BETA 1 is available

[Albert E. Whale]

David,

One thing I've observed about SPAM filtration, is that Everyone's definition of
SPAM is different.  I am currently employing JunkFilter, with good success.  One of
the benefits of JunkFilter is that I can update the definitions on the fly.
Another benefit is that I can employ a Per User definition.  Btw, JunkFilter uses
Procmail.

My question is this, by Integrating SPAM Assassin into MIME Defang, does this
employ an immediate Site wide SPAM Rejection umbrella?

#2. One of the Draw backs to JunkFilter is that my current Mailing Lists are
considered SPAM.  Can you relate your experiences with SPAM Assassin?
