All you net lawyers: Third option? Host the PRE-FILTER APPLIANCE in another country :-)? Is that how google/gmail got around it? I cannot imagine gmail deciding to deliver (and TAG) all spam now. This applies to viruses also. User has to be informed if they get a virus. As for 'in the queue' or not in the queue, is there really a legal distinction between blocking a virus a few cpu and hard disk cycles early? Even with 'prequeue' email, amavisd -new already has the email in $HOME/tmp, so, guess what: the email was already delivered to your system, its just in amavisds temp directory and not in postfix's queue. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).
