[ILUG] copperfast antispam solution or spamassassin?

[Martin Pegman]

I have played with these a little bit and they are quite cool. 
There is no Linux experience required. It's a web front end for all 
the admin.
I have also had the please of using a barracuda appliance for the same
purpose and was very please with that also. Again web fronted auto updates of 
virus and spam rules and you can configure it easily and to as much detail 
as you want.
