[olug] who's using what for milters?

[Lou Duchez]

Update: I have built a better milter using clamsmtp and spampd.  Unlike 
my clunky old milter, it uses utilities that are all kept in the Fedora 
repository, and it properly utilizes Postfix's master.cf settings to 
bounce emails from one service to another.

I've got clamsmtp set up to do Clam AV by accepting an email on port 
10025 and spitting out the modified email on port 10026. Then the email 
is sent to SpamPD on port 10027 and the modified email is kicked out on 
port 10028.  Then Postfix delivers it.  In theory, I could chain more 
utilities in the middle, for example I'm tempted to add a thing that 
ditches emails that are so incredibly spammy there is no hazard in 
deleting them, and before you ask, yes there is such a thing.
