I'm a student, but I don't have any authority in the Academic

exim

| 2.    Have you, or are you in the process of, implemented any anti-spam

|
| 2a    What software do you use?

|
| 2b    What policy do you implement (i.e. bounce spam or just flag it for

I use SA as described at
http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim4_spamassassin.html

| For information we're running the following:
| Exim 3.35


In that case look at
    http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim3_spamassassin.html

| SpamAssassin 2.1
| Perl 5.6.1
| all on Sun Solaris 2.6 and 7


Debian 3.0 here. (note that 3.0 isn't officially "stable" yet, but it
is very stable)
