Hello everyone, Thank you all so much, it was very helpful for me to know so much about SA ;-) I learned a lot of all of you on SA that I had no idea about. Very much appreciated!
Martin, I am using getmail, that's where I added a filter for SA. Can procmail be used to quarantine spams flagged by SA? thanks.
