Hi Dr. X

Thanks for the reply.

We currently have a spam filter, on our firewall. As well as using it's own 
rules to filter mail, it can also check against a white/black list server. 
So what I'd like is a bit of software that can be installed on a server 
somewhere (preferably NT, but Linux would do) so people can connect to it, 
maybe via web page, and add their own entries.

We did test a product from McAfee, that would install on IIS, you could open 
a web page, and configure it with mailboxs, then you could add black/white 
list entries against each mailbox. But it had an issue with adding mailbox 
entries, where it wouldn't recognise a period in the email address, and 
according to McAfee it won't be fixed until the next release of their 
software.

If an existing product doesn't exist, I may just write my own web page, that 
can read/write XML, looking at the McAfee product, it just reads a file with 
the format:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MailboxUpdate>
- <Mailbox name="user.one@DOMAIN" owner="user.one@DOMAIN" 
lastUpdate="1139234841" Delete="0">
  <DenySender>spam@spam.com</DenySender>
  <AllowSender>allow.email@DOMAIN.com</AllowSender>
  </Mailbox>
- <Mailbox name="user.two@DOMAIN" owner="user.two@DOMAIN" 
lastUpdate="1139234869" Delete="0">
  <DenySender>spam@spam.com</DenySender>
  <AllowSender>allow.email@DOMAIN.com</AllowSender>
  </Mailbox>
  </MailboxUpdate>

If you need anymore info please let me know
