For *any* level of ISP usage, I would suggest you set up a system to divert spam to an alternate mail folder, and a cron job to delete tagged mail older than n days, BEFORE setting up any kind of auto-delete. Unless you're *really* getting hosed with spam, and you're *very* short on disk space, and you have a *lot* (20K+) accounts, holding the tagged messages for even a day or two shouldn't be a problem. > And, if done, will only > get done at some value > (2 or more) than the tagging threshold. I've seen legit mail on the default SA rules score 12-15. > I don't do auto-deletion even on my very tightly controlled > mail stream. About the only things I'm willing to autodelete are viruses. Not much point in keeping them around unless you really *want* copies of viruses to study. :/ -kgd -- <erno> hm.
