This is spamcan, a very powerful anti-spam patch to sendmail. You can just get the patch or get the gzip'd tar. The patch has everything you need. I estimate it catches at least 90 percent of the spam sent to the company I work for. I've tried the check_mail and check_relay stuff with 2000 known-spammer ip ranges and domains with domain validation turned on; it catches nothing compared to regular expression matching used in spamcan. Based on user-feedback, a future version of spamcan will impliment a scoring system. I anticipate this will help quite a bit. spamcan-0.96 is released to support sendmail version 8.8.8.
