    Sendmail is ok. Postfix is really a lot better than sendmail. Most of
    the solutions - such as the one I have listed above - are probably
    overkill for you. These solutions filter spam, clean up HTML, clean up
    virii, etc. Believe me, if you are asking "how do I protect the
    Exchange server" you're in for a long night with these solutions, even
    if they are superior.

    If you just want a mail gateway then maybe something like Obtuse's SMTPD
    is probably your baby. I used this for 2-3 years before the spam just
    got too awful with almost no problems. Set it and forget, and setting
    doesn't take too long. FYI if you use this the trick to forwarding mail
    is /etc/mail/ files such as transport ;-) http://sd.inodes.org/
