Cheers Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Cranson Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 3:22 PM To: Cal Evans Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Delete vs tagging spam I've read the archives, and I've seen numerous answers to posts saying that it's not supported. My question was to the developers - would they (you) consider adding it to a future version of spamassassin? The problem with qmail-scanner and the like is they aren't able to (from what I've read) delete email above a user-defined deletion threshold without a mysql preference from spamassassin. It seems that way anyway..
