They probably used McAfee SpamAssassin. Other Net-App kit of theirs certainly does: http://www.mcafee.com/uk/local_content/datasheets/ds_spamkiller_appliances.pdf I'd say it is probable that McAfee use SpamAssassin in every one of their Anti-Spam devices/software products. It certainly wouldn't be surprising. When we had errors come from some of their A/V+AntiSpam products, the existence of Spamassassin "under-the-hood" became apparent (especially when it moans about not being able to load a 20_something_or_other.cf file :-) Cheers, Mike
