I wonder if, with our email obfuscation efforts with the Forrest

Yep - you should ask apmail.


I still don't understand why we get so much spam. Doesn't the
mail system at Apache do spam filtering? Or do the moderation
messages bypass that.

Many messages do get caught by spamwatch (the server-side custom filtering stuff on daedalus). Still, on an average week, with SpamAssassin already catching a lot on my IMAP box, and Mail.app doing its own filtering, I do receive 20-30 spam moderation messages a week. I'm not on dial-up though, so bandwidth isn't an issue to me.


I guess bandwidth is your real issue, not?
