Indeed. :-) I've been using MIMEDefang (which is milter based) for attachment filtering and virus scanning for over a year now. SpamAssassin support was just added in the most recent release, which is how I was introduced to it. MIMEDefang already includes all the functions one would need for dealing with spam (bouncing, dropping, quarantining, header marking, attaching a text report, etc.), so I'm all set. > But this shouldn't be a "core" SA feature.

Lots of perfectly good MTAs already exist! ---- Nels Lindquist <*> Information Systems Manager Morningstar Air Express Inc. _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
