[ale] Spam Blocking Alternatives

[John Allgood]

Puremessage allowed the user to manager their own quarantine. If 
something was blocked they could approve within that interface or 
receive a email digest and approve that way. The amount of spam received 
here is unreal.  Over a 24 hour period purmessage blocked over 100 spam 
messages just to me. The price was about $20,000 dollars this included 
spam,virus, and policy management. Everything ran on linux it was 
developed using Sendmail or Postfix, Perl,  and Postgres. That is why I 
liked it so well. And it did a good job. Also allowed the users to have 
control of their own email. Plus it didn't have to sit down and right a 
bunch of recipes. I don't have time for that.

Thanks
