[Mimedefang] scanning outgoing mail

[Cliff Hayes]

Thanks,

May I trouble you for some hints on a direction to take.  Perhaps a link to
a walk-through?  I have searched the web and found nothing.  I have both
spamassassin books and not a word.  I couldn't find a mimedefang book.

We use Mimedefang for both.  The key advantage is being able to apply
rules conditionally.  For example the Spamhaus PBL should be used only
on incoming.  And you might have identifiable internally-generated mail
that should always be accepted (announcements from the boss, etc).
