It's the MTA's responsibility to _REJECT_ spam attempts at SMTP time. It's the mail OP's responsibility to properly configure the MTA to do so. Spam fighting should be performed pre queue, not post queue. I suggest you bone up on modern spam fighting techniques. Post queue content analysis is not the proper way to fight spam, especially in 2010. -- Stan
