Not at all. The first thing in procmail is "if the subject is WWW submission, deliver it somewhere". Then it says filter through spamassassin and go about your business as before, filtering/trashing things as desired. This isn't a dirty hack; it's quite clean. There's no law that says you have to use spamassassin on *all* or *none* of your mail. Use the tools that you have to achieve the effect you desire: filter what you want to filter and be merry =) good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
