I see various rules suggested here and names like BigEvil and MrWiggly etc. I'm not sure what the flow is here - Do some of these things get incorporated into SA eventually? IOW, how do I tell what to incorporate into my local.cf and what to simply wait for to be included in a regular release. That's probably not asked quite right, but I think you see the idea? One other question - It seems like most of you get rid of most spam with a cutoff value of 5? I've got mine down to 2.4 right now. This works pretty well, with only an occasional ham getting through. I suspect that mine is this low because I haven't been "SA-learn"ing much...?? If I set it at 5.0, lots would be getting through. Is this the usual? IOW, as my system learns more, I will be able to raise the cutoff? tnx - John ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
