I think most folks like this idea - do you have ideas how to scale this to the ISP level? One thing I've been brainstorming is to pass the recipient address to spamc/spamassassin from procmail/maildrop. It would be far from perfect, but with a low score I think it might be very useful. -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontier Internet, Inc. http://www.frontier.net/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
