Well in some cases, such as debugging an undetected spam, it's quite useful to see the entire message to determine whether the results can be duplicated on another system. If so, it can be a genuine bug in SA. So there are times when it's useful to forward spams to these lists. Regarding filtering spam discussion list messages using anti-spam software, that's generally not a good idea since the messages can legitimately include spam samples for meta-discussion about them. So if you're applying SpamAssassin or other anti-spam sofware to these messages, don't. :-) Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
