Before tweaking SA, tweak your MTA. You should be able to reduce the amount of messages (and thus, spam) being processed by SA with some simple MTA-native checks. The MX for highstreet.net is a Postfix machine, so you can start by exploring the built-in UCE controls: http://www.postfix.org/uce.html I would also suggest (though I am sure others will disagree) rejecting at the MTA level based on ZEN: http://www.spamhaus.org/ZEN/. -- Sahil Tandon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
