[afnog] I am getting porn spam emails

[W W]

Hi

Deploy Kerio Connect to listen on port on desperate box or on same Linux
server.  If behind a router, set destination Nat to forward to say port 26,
Kerio Connect will listen on that, filter, score and forward mail to local
host port 25.

Mail me if interested on further help.
