Contact firewall, he already has kept a big table containing the alternatives at one of the sites. Don't re-invent the wheel, just contribute to the list if its not complete.

But I had a tough time looking for a mailwasher substitute. Ultimately I found 2 and posted links here in some thread. Here's the link of that thread :)

Too many lists already. I think you better make a list of lists. Even that could be quite big and really useful :) The link by klinux has a list that is similar to the list on the link that I gave.
