Yeah, that's sort of what I meant when I posted my version of the above list. The earlier in the process you can kill the spam, the better. Less resource usage, less "intrusion" into your system, less annoyance. :) I tend to block everything possilble at SMTP, nothing at procmail, everything else at SA. I've tuned my system to the point where I don't get FNs (maybe one every 6 months or so?), and the only FPs I see are from a guy posting to a mailing list who hits every RBL I use but no other rules, kind of interesting. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "In the year 2000, medical research will be so advanced that the Ebola virus will be used as a crunchy desert topping." - Late Night with Conan O'Brian
