Sorry to jump in the middle of this convo. I just joined this list
after using it for a few months. The reason I joined was that I recently
upgraded my FreeBSD box from 2.64 to 3.0.1_1 (Not sure what about it makes
it _1, but thats ok)
As soon as I did, the amount of spam I started getting as
good deliveries SKYROCKETED. I thought maybe it was just me, but it appears
atleast *1* other person has seen this.
Was there a major change in the rules or something? My install is/was
out of the ports collection of FreeBSD which I didn't think had been "tainted"
any. Should I maybe clear my db files?
Any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll fall back to the previous
version.
Thanks, Tuc
