Except that won't catch nearly all of the SPAMs by using only the SA tag.... it will catch a bunch up to the threshold setting, but many of the clever ones will get through. It takes a combo: MTA Sendmail access (that I use) first line of block (many blocked by this) Spamd runs as daemon & set to block all at the threshold of choice (many more blocked by this not on above access block) Spamassassin blacklist Procmail using the SA Tag as shown above Procmail using many, many, many recipes, including its own blacklist to catch those that slip though the above. Those are what come to mind as a combo brick wall. These have dropped spams down to just a handfull versus several 1000 daily before. 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.
