Thanks- there's the kind of little detail I'd missed out on, and appreciate having it 
mentioned.

Appreciated procmail script omitted- thanks, I think I even understand how it works

6-10 messages a minute won't be enough.  FWIW, my server is a Cobalt Qube 3 Pro, 
450Mhz.  I would think that's decent, but then, that's all based on perspective. It 
doesn't do much but mail and an occasional FTP.

Looks like I should understand spamc/spamd.  Invoking daemons is still uncharted 
territory for me, so if someone has a reccomended source for me to get up to speed on 
this topic, I'd love to read it.  I'm a little fuzzy on the "Then, configure your 
system to run spamd in the background," part of the instructions.  It's written with 
the assumption I know how to do that, but I don't, yet.

Regards,

Steve.
