Well I use OpenBSD as my firewalling mailserver. But the OpenBSD mailinglist is a fully open list. Yes great fun, 3 spams a day and virusses and antivirus warnings (with trojans included). And they wont make it a subscribe only list :( So: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/ Heh. That was why I informed here to find out how this list does prevent spam. Groetjes, Han. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
