Was the cold-caller trying to put down SpamAssassin and/or anti-spam products that are relatively open? :-) send-safe.com can only evaluate static SpamAssassin rules. It can't reliably evaluate RBL rules, SURBL rules, Bayes rules, etc. And it obviously can't do anything about non-content-based countermeasures like greylisting, SPF scoring or Sendmail's new "greet_pause" feature. So it doesn't actually help spammers all that much. It does provide good fodder for anti-spam companies that claim to "work better" because they don't tell anyone how their product works. Regards, David. P.S. If you want commercial anti-spam software, we'd be happy to cold-call you. :-) _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list MIMEDefang@lists.roaringpenguin.com http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
