Redefining the rule in your site config (often located in /etc/mail/spamassassin) will redefine the rule as you are looking to do. Daryl

That group of hosts are also responsible for passing along spam from botnet PCs. No scanning of outgoing mail? Joseph Brennan Columbia University IT In Canada one of the largest ISP is Sympatico.ca and they offer a service [EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://sympatico.msn.ca/). They use hotmail to handle their e-mail backend. Their outgoing mail server is smtphm.sympatico.ca which is an alias for smtp.bc.hotmail.com. From my logs all the sympatico.ca e-mails we are getting are coming from the servers are in the bay0.hotmail.com range. I will patch FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK in our own custom rules and and wait until SA offically updates 20_ratware.cf Thanks for the heads up on the BLU message id. -- Paul Griffith
