I looked at 6 full days of my results. About 3.7% of the messages that make it to SpamAssassin scoring (RBLs, attachment extension checks, and ClamAV are earlier) were blocked *only* because of sender address verification. That is, they were over the threshold with SAV, but under the threshold without SAV. -- Richard _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
