I just wrote a little blurb on the new unofficial Courier Wiki about configuring maildrop/SpamAssassin so that users can configure spam messages higher than a certain score to be "nuked". The admin can have them deleted immediately or (like I do) save them to a admin folder for FP checking on occassion. Here's the details: http://courier.opensrc.org/index.php?page=SpamAssassinWithMaildrop with some perl scripting, one could probably get something similar with Spamassassin at SMTP time, where user's configure a spam threshold (something like 5) and a nuke threshold (something like 15). Messages that score over the user's nuke threshold would be rejected by the MTA. Personally though, rejecting messages at the SMTP level scares me. I'd lie in bed and wonder, is my MTA rejecting all messages because my Spam filter broke? Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
