So if I read you correctly, adding 4800 rules essentially triples the cpu time needed to process a given message or collection of messages. Are there ways to improve the performance of the checks? I ask because these URI rules are tripping on about 50-60% of my current spam - much more than the corresponding source domain blacklist rules. I hope you'll pardon my ignorance, but I don't know how to read the masscheck results. Were there any other useful nuggets that came out of that report? Thanks for taking the time to report back, even if I'm too inexperienced to understand your response. :-) Cheers, - Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- '"I wish those people just would be quiet," he said of computer researchers who publish vulnerabilities in Microsoft's products.' -- Steve Ballmer, Microsoft (Courtesy of http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/washpost/20031010/tc_washpost/a6043_2003oct9) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Stearns ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
