--> The mail server that I'm setting up is just going to be a relay that
will filter out any spam and viruses before it gets to the real mail
server.  I definitely want Postfix as the MTA, but aren't sure about the
spam and AV software yet.  I've always heard that SpamAssassin and ClamAV
is a good combination.  I looked at the Razor2 software above and it seems
to be just another piece of spam software like SpamAssassin.  Do you run
both SpamAssassin and Razor2 on the same server?

Sounds cool, I'd love to go but I live in NY and Columbia is just a little
bit out of the way.

Yes, it does, thank you.
