You run a web shop and use a Challenge/Response system for mailing? This is practical?
No to both: I do not run a web shop and a challenge/response system is not practical. It did a great job at pruning incoming spam but put off a number of people, mail lists and organizations. So I am looking for a better solution.
Ok :) Then I misunderstood you. I took your sentence "someone like myself who is running a small shop and wants to have a" as if you would run this shop online. So I was surprised about the C/R statement. Please don't mind.
I have very good experience by running Sendmail along with ClamAV-milter (anti-virus protection) and SpamAssassin (spam classification, bound to Sendmail using MimeDefang). milter-spamc is too a very good tool to integrate SA into SM mail stream.
I may try this approach. If you have a reference that would be useful. If not, I'll google ClamAV-milter and milter-spamc. I've not heard of these before. Thanks for your input. What is SA and SM?
http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/ron_goulard/clamav once written for FC1, but still valid in basics (btw. I am using the http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/3/clamav/ packages on my FC mail servers)

SA stands for SpamAssassin SM stands for (no, not sado-maso :) SendMail
