[CLUE-Tech] Linux "email firewall"

[Keith Christian]

Hi Steve,

Yes, I'll probably buy an upgrade because I've had this email for so
long.  Yahoo's spam filter has either been relaxed or removed, so I
want to take the filtering into my own hands.

Still trying to figure out a way to convert the inbox on the Linux
machine so that my Win98 machine can in turn access Posfix or Sendmail
on Linux.  Learning, learning....
