10 years of MailScanner

[Randal, Phil]

Well done, Jules.

I first installed MailScanner back in 2003, and haven't looked back.

In those days, less than 10% of of our incoming emails were spam.  Now
it is up to 90%+ (most being caught by the zen.spamhaus.org blacklist).

Our MX boxes are two Dell 2950s with 4GB RAM, CentOS 5.4 x64, sendmail,
and SA 3.3.0.

Julian's and the mailing list's support has been second to none.  I
can't praise it highly enough.

Cheers,

Phil

MailScanner is just about to reach its 10th anniversary.

Yes, believe it or not, I took on this crazy idea 10 years ago! How time
flies.

We are planning a big news release and celebration here at work to
commemorate this.

What I need from you guys are some comments and "sound bites" saying
what you think of MailScanner, what  you like about it, why you use it. 
I'm looking for a real variety of comments from all over the world, East
and West, big sites and small, so if you've got something to say then I
want to hear it!

So get commenting folks!

Many thanks,

Jules
