Yes, it does filter after receipt, but it also has the capability of sending confirmation requests to unknown senders. Since their email is not released to the recipient until they send a confirmation, it effectively eliminates anything that might get by my MTA's (postfix) antispam features at spamassassin. I use spamassassin to provide me with the information I need to add new spam rules to postfix. Blocking at the MTA is still the most efficient of all. -- +-----------------------+----------------------------------+--------------+ |Robin Lynn Frank |No attachments or active content |Copyright and | |Director of Operations |is permitted in incoming mail. |PGP/GPG info | |Paradigm-Omega, LLC |Violatons are rejected.
