hermes is a generic, transparent and multi-platform
anti-spam SMTP proxy that uses a combination of
techniques (like greylisting, throttling, DNS white/blacklisting, SPF, etc.) to stop spam from reaching your mailbox. Many mailboxes see a 98% spam reduction with no false positives, as hermes is not filtering email based on content, but on strict adherence to the SMTP standards. It's also compatible with most SMTP extensions like STARTTLS (for SSL security) and SMTP-AUTH (for
user authentication).
