The spammer in my situation is spoofing the 192.168 net! Thanks - good point. I should have been more specific. As Jim's post pointed out, AWL would trigger if it was spoofing not only the From, but also the first two octects of the IP address. > >If you want to turn AWL off, remove the -a option from > >spamassassin init script or however you call it.

To that end, there is not one tool that accomplishes the task 100% of the time. If one would consider turning off AWL for one deficiency then WE should consider using a workaround if needed until the problem is properly addressed. It does appear that AWL needs more than two octects. And if the SMTP server is in a more complex network, the IP address itself may be questionable. One could group outbound servers on one network and inbound servers on a different network. Maybe the option could utilize a list of hostnames in fqdn format. Vicki (and Christopher), was the entire IP address forged or just the first two octects? --Larry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
