[luau] SAproxy - a Windows SpamAssassin POP3 proxy

[Warren Togami]

Hey folks,

Attached is an interesting forward about "SAProxy", a free and open 
source POP3 proxy for Windows.  It uses the excellent "SpamAssassin" 
engine that many have been using on unix for years.  It runs hundreds of 
tests on each incoming message to determine a "spam score".

I personally use SpamAssassin on my Linux mail servers in order to have 
highly accurate spam detection for all users on mail servers. 
Mid-Pacific Institute will soon transition to such a mail server.  I can 
help you configure a spam blocking site-wide Linux mail server for your 
school too, please let me know if interested.

I haven't tried SAProxy for Windows, but the description sounds like it 
can work with any POP3 mail account.  It isn't feasible for multiple 
users because you need to set it up on each machine for each user, but 
it should protect a single user fairly well after some configuration and 
tweaks.

I'll be interested to hear about experiences in trying this.
