Qmail with Spamassassin (bogofilter to be installed) Question

[Ryan Pagquil]

Hi David,

         Can bogofilter functions exactly like spamassassin? Can I 
use it with qmailscanner? Is there a howto that explains in details 
installing bogofilter in a mail exchanger? I want to install it on 
both MX so that spam will not reach the core servers. Is this 
possible? Please help... I was confused on how will I implement it 
using the existing spamassassin setup on the MX servers.

Thanks,
Ryan
