SpamAssassin itself cannot do that. Research "POP Proxy" and see what you find, and then figure out how and whether SA can be incorporated as a filter into the POP proxy. Others may be able to suggest a specific POP proxy package. An alternative would be to set up a local mail server that your clients connect to using POP and IMAP, and that box retrieves inbound email from your provider using Fetchmail. SA would then be a fairly vanilla install on that box. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Men by their constitutions are naturally divided in to two parties: 1.
