That's a personal proxy server.

You can also set up a spam proxy server that receive all your organization's incoming mail, filters it, and pass it to your organization's legacy mail server.
The \[http://www.amavis.org/ Amavis\] mail scanner can be set as a SMTP to SMTP proxy. Amavis sits between two SMTP mail relays, receives incoming mail, filters it through [SpamAssassin] or an optional virus filter, and drops, bounces or marks spam messages. Though you can't use personnal settings, it's very flexible and does not require you to mess with your MTA's configuration. |
