[plug] spam filtering

[simon]

While we're on the subject, does spamassassin offer a proxy mode?

A client runs Blotus Notes but happily has a linux gateway, so Id like to open
port 25 to accept mail, filter it, then if it is kosher forward it to the
internal notes server......

I dont want to touch the notes server - whenever I go near it I get a stabbing
pain and can hear small children screaming and the sound of drums....
