the exim setup proposed it surely interesting as it allows SMTP level filtering, but you can only really do this on a single-user system. after some experience with anti-spam filtering, i have decided that system-wide filtering isn't adequate if you have a number of users, it should be user-based (spamassassin or spambouncer). you just can't trust your users enough to have direct influence on the way the MTA works. and you can't impose your anti-spam rules on others. aside, filtering on the sender address doesn't usually help... spammers don't reuse addresses... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] three things are certain: death, taxes and lost data. guess which has occurred.
