Hi David, Thank you, this flowchart is very useful.
The yahoo-thing is a bit more complicated for me. I deliver my anti spam files to a lot of imail servers here in switzlerland on a daily bases. The files are maintained and updated 2 to 3 times a day. The customers are paying some money for this service. So, i have to be a bit carefuly... - Maybe it's a good idea to other services instead of SORBS - It's a good idea to create a rule, that a mail will only be catched if two services are firing. In general: The IMail anti spam tools are pretty effective at all ;-) ==================================== Am Donnerstag, 8.
