I'd hope that InfoWorld would adhere to a similar standard. > Here is Kevins article: > http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/07/18/28FEspamassassin_1.h > tml > > Another tidbit from his article: > "SpamAssassin is easy to install and customize, with a basic interface for > adding domains and e-mail addresses to blacklists and white lists". > > > On Mon, 24 Nov 2003, Dan Wilder wrote: > > > On Sun, Nov 23, 2003 at 04:19:56PM -0800, Logan Harbaugh wrote: > > > I don't have control over how articles are edited.
