Thanks for the advice Bob. I've spent more time reading the docs like I should've to begin with. From what I've read, if I let my users know to forward all spam they receive into their email to an email that I created, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can use "sa-learn --spam /home/vpopmail/domains/furniture-homegallery.com/3/spam/Maildir/cur so that it "learns" what spam is. Question, won't it think that the spam is actually my users forwarding the spam instead of the actual spam being forwarded to it? If they forward the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I think it'll learn to ban my users at my domain instead. Am I doing this wrong?

I found that I had to use it where version 4.xx is installed, to create some ACL support files. HTH -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
