Also also, what about BCC? SpamAssassin will not see the address, and therefore cannot add a score based on the address. Or what about emails To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin will only analyze the email once, but you'll want to accept it for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and reject it for [EMAIL PROTECTED] which you can't do in SMTP after seeing the DATA anyway. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer
