Ditto. I got tired of iiNet's unreliable, slow mail servers and lack of 
any kind of spam filtering or tagging. It's one of the best moves I've 
made in a long time.

Cyrus + exim + sendmail + MimeDefang + Spamassassin - works great.

Yes, exim + sendmail. I use an exim box for initial delivery and 
queuing, then it hands messages on to the sendmail box running cyrus 
etc. That way my IMAP server isn't exposed to the 'net, and I can have a 
more secure MTA as a buffer to prevent direct attacks on sendmail.

Oh, and I never have to tangle with Procmail :-)
