I've never used assp, but Spam Assassin is excellent.  I uses Perl extensively, and allows you to create your own tests -- in Perl, so you can hit databases, use regex's, etc.

Very powerful.  It's also what ActiveState chose for the basis of their SPAM tool.

Howdy all!

I'm currently looking for some anti-spam filtering software.  What I need is
for it to be a filtering gateway before it reaches our Exchange server (or
on our exchange server if that works as well).

I have seen 2 good options, Anti-Spam Mail Proxy
http://assp.sourceforge.net/ or Spam Assassin.  Which would ya'll suggest?
What I need is something relatively simple to understand once it is in place
and preferably with a GUI.

Pros/Cons for this type of situation would be welcome.

Thank you,
John Cole, TICSA
