What problems do you run into? With which countries? I'm handling a fair amount of business email from Asia and Mexico and haven't noticed any problem.

Why waste the CS> cycles :) Because some of us may not be able to use, or use easily. :-) As an end-user on a virtual domain server, I don't seem to have direct access to procmail or other methods of implementing blacklists before SA. Blacklists within SA are functional and well worth while for me. RM>> 5) personal rules CS> Which leaves me with basically 1 and 5. :) CS> Don't get me wrong, I was excited about Bayes! Still am.

ISPs not wanting to use DNSBLs. ect.... I really don't see a need to explain to users how to feed bayes. My server provided an SA on/off switch back in May, and I turned it on for one of my domains. I liked the results. Before I knew it, Bayes had trained and was trapping spam for me. auto-learn is quite sufficient on its own as far as I'm concerned -- feeding bayes specific emails is a nice-to-have feature which can give an incremental benefit, but it's not necessary.
