My system's not as advanced as yours (fetchmail/mailfilter/spamassassin) but it works in a similar fashion. Almost all spam is routed to a spam folder. The previously "clean" address that I used here on Sunday is being sent a boatload of spam/viruses, but it's being caught. Regarding obfustcating email addresses on the list's web archives...I won't beat a dead horse. Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
