MailScanner vs Borderware

[Martin.Hepworth]

I'd suggest DefenderMX if you want a commercial product, the Borderware
product is getting really bad chat on the lists over the last few
months. The spam detection rate has apparently gone down really badly
over the last year or so..

MW will do black/white on a per user basis, but obviously you hve to
split the email to individual recipients first.....
