Amen. Use Razor and other tools to presort mail into folders of "probable spam" and "probable ham" but have users do the final sort. This works well for us. Some of our role accounts, for example <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, get several hundred spams a day. Our editor finds it much easier to look through the spam folder for the sporadic false positive once a day, than to have to sort through all that spam in her main incoming mailbox. Look into SpamAssassin. One of its tools is Razor, but it doesn't classify mails as spam based purely on result from a single tool. Get a recent release. Each new release of SpamAssassin adds new tools to the mix. By computing a composite score based on results of several tools, SpamAssassin tends to even out the excesses of individual tools. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager SSC, Inc.
