Spamhaus has received some rather amusing legal threats from spammers, none of
which has ever actually been carried out. These threats are collected at
http://www.spamhaus.org/legal/cartoonies.html; good for a laugh.

Thanks for your insight Gary, and Bob.
So, to sum up, I think, the recipe for bypassing processing based on
sender address appearing in a text file of user's mailing list
subscription addresses:

Much to my surprise, I found out that the current (2.60) SpamAssassin

done on a line-by-line basis.
Are there any plans to support regex matches against the ent

Hi.
I am new to spamassassin, but it looks very good and I would like to use it.
After reading a lot of DOC's, I have decided what I want to do, but none of
them have
shown me how to do it.
I want to run spamd with sendmail, to filter all mail system wide at source
ie. in sendmail.

If you use $MAILDIR, there is no reason t
from the spamd documentation:
"-m number, --max-children=number
Specify a maximum number of children to spawn. Spamd will wait until
another child finishes before forking again. Meanwhile, incoming connections
will be queued.
Please note that there is a OS specific maximum of connections

I know you can do this with postfix, i wouldn't do it for all domains as it
would cause way too many problems IMHO, but it may be worth testing on
frequently forged domains like aol, yahoo, msn etc..

the spamd -m commandline option for max child processes... is that per
spamc call?
for instance if I use:
spamd -d -m10 -x -u filter
and I run 50 instances of spamc, does that mean that all 50 call of the
spamc process get 10 spamd child processes for a total of up to 500
spamd child processes?
