[vexim] Time to ditch SA/DSPAM?

[Avleen Vig]

For a few months now, I've been using a product called TrafficControl
from MailChannels. I know the guys who wrote it and they're a pretty
solid bunch.

It works so well for me, that SA and DSPAM catch less than one spam a
day per account now. As a result, I've turned them off here.

I thought you guys might want to know about this too :)

Before release they were going to charge or the product, but it's now
free for non-commercial users, and free for any use if you get less than
10k connections a day.

Let me know if you try it and what you think of it.

TC is an invisible proxy. It listens on port 25 and silently forwards
the connection on to your MTA, doing checks on the traffic in the
process.

One interesting thing I found, was that after I changed my DNS to point
my MX to a new IP that I gave TC, I still got LOTS of connections (100's
per day) to my old IP. All spammers who cached my DNS.

If you try it, let me know what you think.
