MailScanner vs Borderware

[Chris Richardson]

the thing we do here is we have build a frontend into our website that 
allows the users to adjust the greylisting and whitelist/blacklisting 
along with the scoring levels and delivery methods. then on the server 
we run a script ever night that rebuilds the effected ruleset that 
restarts mailscanner. it was actualy pretty easy to do and if you realy 
wanted it real time i am sure you could a. modify ms to do rules sets 
off of a db. b. setup some time of demon that could insert and control 
the start/stop features of ms.
