Exactly right. In our internal "how to use SpamAssassin" document, I went to lengths to describe that as far as SA was concerned, there is no difference between "Solicited Commercial Email" and "Unsolicited Commercial Email" - the latter being SPAM. As such, only the *USER* can differentiate between the two. If the *USER* receives SCE, then they must filter it off *before* applying SA rulechecks - otherwise they will loose mail. ...and like that Web spam checker, I get our own sales people to throw their latest SCE through SA to see how "spammy" it looks before sending to our customers :-) -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
