If I have to put all the lists on MTA level (sendmail for this customer) 
and then in MailScanner to _just_ bounce rejected mail to the senders, I 
don't need MailScanner, Sendmail or Postfix is enough but not always 
easy to configure, I use the MailScanner Webmin module to do that in 
remote and it's the right solution for me but...

In this case I have to notify ALL the spam to the recipients not very 
practical...

Thanks for your reply.
