Introduction Spam is junk email. While there are several generally compatible definitions of "spam," spam is defined by the SpamAssassin project as Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). Email that is not spam is often called Ham. Another definition, Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) is not used by the SpamAssassin project because some spam is clearly not commercial and some unsolicited mail which is not bulk is (often) actually wanted. It's a start.. :) Now, now how does that apply to the thread :) I 'think' what you are saying is that SA is meant to stop UBE even if it comes from commercial email marketers? Then why def_whitelist entries? What qualifies for a def_whitlist entry? -- -- "Catch the Magic of Linux..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Peddemors - President/CEO - LinuxMagic Products, Services, Support and Development Visit us at http://www.linuxmagic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Wizard IT Company - For More Info http://www.wizard.ca "LinuxMagic" is a Registered TradeMark of Wizard Tower TechnoServices Ltd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 604-589-0037 Beautiful British Columbia, Canada This email and any electronic data contained are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
