Well, all I really need is a good spam filter that is fairly easy to setup (and of corse the directions to do so). The spam is getting to the point where it's unberable and my filter does more harm then good when it filters personal emails... I've always heard the SA was one of the best filters. And I thought Tunderbird was more popular... Surprising that nobody is using this config on the list though! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
