In my view, you just built a spam filter into your MTA config :) Spam filter doesn't necessarily have to be a separate program. If it is possible to build a spam filter using just the available config features, of course you can do it :) Yes, MTAs obviously do have functionality that allows them to interface with spam filters (and even build spam filters). Otherwise using spam filters would be very hard, they would have to work only as external proxies to "actual" MTAs. Even simple config file listing blacklisted senders can be considered a kind of spam filter (although a very primitive and ineffective one). But no MTA I know of uses any reputation system (or more broadly, any spam filtering at all) in its native code by default, as released by the developer. It's up to the user to add it. Maybe I should have added to my original statement that I thought about the MTA "as is", not MTA with all the possible modifications made by the user (remembering now how I tweaked the config of my first sendmail - up to the point where it didn't resemble the original at all ;)). But I thought it was obvious :) -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
