That's exactly what you should do, indeed that was the instruction when assp first came out. No of course it does not have to go through assp. You do have to seperate those messages into individual files though
And No, rebuildspamdb does pay attention to the headers as well in particular the subject. --On Saturday, December 02, 2006 01:18:26 -0500 "Eric B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | I just had a thought....
