[Cialug] spam filtering

[Jon Clemons]

Which AV plugin? Use Sophie as opposed to invoking sweep for every message 
which
adds major overhead.  Or option 2 I have a nice outsourced spam and virus 
filtering service
which works well and each user gets a daily report where they can release 
items we stopped
and each has their own personal whitelist and blacklist:) I have several 
businesses in Des Moines
using this service now and they think it's the holy grail:)
