Thanks for clearing that up. I'm learning a lot here. I sent an email to this James guy about it, and hopefully will be able to reach some kind of resolution. So far this is the only "false positive" I've seen since I switched to spamassassin, and for that I'm grateful. Am I correct in assuming that unless I use the -r option to complain about spam, spamassassin does not attempt to notify the sender's ISP or such? It wasn't clear from the documentation. Also, the way I've always dealt with spam was to not just block it, but when feasible to complain to the relevant abuse@ISP addresses and/or the FTC when it is particularly egregious. Does the -r option do this, or simply contribute the spam to the blocking services? --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
