That may be a good thought. As I look at the capabilities I only see one function that looks promising. The types of filtering are: Regular Expressions IP Blacklisting IP Throttling Akismet (uses the Akismet web service) Of these, the only one I see as useful for us is the last. Right now, our frequency and type of spamming does not seem to fit the others. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
