We have Chripy's Mailscanner/MailWatch installed. However, the spam is still driving us and our customer's crazy.

Two questions...

1) Has anyone tried Canit spam? (By Roaring Penguin)

and

2) Would there be any problem adding Boxtrapper? (With Mailscanner already enabled)

I'd also be interested in hearing any other potential solutions to this ongoiing spam problem.

thanks,
BX

Utilizing greylisting? The general concensus over on ART's board is that it drastically cuts down on the spam, while not cutting into the legitimate email... since most spam remailers don't support the "try again in a minute" approach.
I haven't personally set up greylisting on my cPanel boxes yet, as the current setup seems to be sufficient... bu it might be something to look into for yours. I know that my Plesk customers are happy with the greylisting, though.
