TopPost: Correction to my list below. "spamd" should be "spamass-milter" for the threshold blocking. Sorry.

My users love it and are astonded at the amount of MBs & time they had spent on managing spam before. They are all aware of a possible loss of a good email now and then. After a couple of months, only about 3 or 4 have needed to be recovered and forwarded to the user -- still NO losses! I always divert the marginals to a "review" mail folder. And, as more insurance, ALL SPAMs are placed in an archive which can be searched later if a user realizes one may be lost.... Best regards, Jack L.
