I've just put together the initial release of MailStripper (ver 0.56)

It's an anti-spam daemon that attempts to clear the junk from your
incoming email.

Unlike some which require specific versions of specific MTAs, MailStripper
sits in front of your MTA (which you need to reconfig to listen on another
port besides 25) and scans your incoming SMTP stream. I recommend the use
of the Linux Dummy net interface here, to give you a local IP your MTA
doesn't recognise as local to prevent relaying, as is most likely to
happen if 127.0.0.1 is used.

MailStripper also supports third-party anti-virus scanning - using the
free version of F-Prot here it's already stopped numerous copies of
Bugbear.

Please be aware this is an initial release, and is quite likely to have
its problems - though it's been handling all Eridani mail for a while now.
