Excellent.

Yes, BAYES is running and is updated through sa-learn running against my 
various mailboxes every night.

When 3.0.0 came out, Mandrake did not support it yet, and I missed the SURBL 
discussion. I checked out the website, but I am still clueless about it. 
Could you point me to something that will clue me in?

And similarly about network tests. I assume that you mean comparing messages 
against public databases on the net. I thought that TOP_200,  and TRIPWIRE 
did that for me? If not, what should I be using?
