I can't speak for spamassasin, but I take the approach of agressively filtering my email. Every procmail rule files stuff in folders (as you'd expect). And anything not hitting a rule falls out the bottom and gets put in my probably-spam folder. This is moderately effective - it gets most broadcast spam (connect to SMTP server, supply lots of addresses and 1 message and send) because it won't have _my_ address in the to/cc, nor match my mailing list patterns. That just leaves the targetted spam (or the spam sent to mailling lists), and for that I just use the 'd' key. You may well want to reach for spamassassin or its ilk instead. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ The simple pleasures a man has to give up, just because he's President. - Lyndon B.
