Mail and IM Services

SpamAssassin and ClamAV are bundled into the Tiger 10.4 mail service. Options for junk-mail filtering include bouncing, deleting, delivering with a modified subject line and redirecting to a quarantine e-mail address. I set a systemwide threshold for acting on the spam score. When I looked at the headers of an e-mail message, the spam score was also placed there for client-side filtering.
