dovecot - Apr 2006 - Unoffical Survey - What MTA/Spam filtering do you use?

I like this unofficial survey of hardware but wondering what MTA and 
spam filtering everyone is using. I do front end spam filtering for 
other servers as well. (junkemailfilter.com)

I'm using Exim 4.61
SpamAssassin 3.11
Some version of DSpam that I'm experimenting with
Most of my spam filtering happens on the Exim level.

My mail spam filter server is:
AMD 3800 Dual Core Athlon
2 100gb SATA drives
4 gigs ram
64 bit Fedora Core 4

2 backup servers on higher MX recored that are similar configuration.

Sendmail, MIMEDefang, SpamAssassin, ClamAV. I don't currently do 
greylisting but I do use sendmail's GreetPause.

We have a very basic approach, using SpamHaus and SpamCop RBLs on Sendmail, 
along with some mail body regex rules.  This delivers to our internal server, 
which is Postfix running on the same box as Dovecot.

That little X1 is hammering along running Postfix, Dovecot, Samba, CUPS, and 
Apache.  Not a bad effort for such a cheap box :)

Well I'll put in another plug for my own piece of work..

    http://www.mvmf.org/

includes several tools among which are:

  - mvmda, mail delivery agent with a powerful scripting language,
    including a SIEVE submode (which can be used exclusively or
    in conjunction with non-sieve elements);

  - mvmtr, mail transport receiver that (at the moment, anyway) can
    stand in for qmail-smtpd.

Open source, should be easy to configure and install, is continually
being worked on or at least poked at (and has come a long way since I
last mentioned it here).  Both of the above can consult with clamd from
the MFL scripting language, using the "clamdif" program (cusp), also
included, and which can also be used as a command-line clamd-talking-to
tool.

Yours,
