It's a good way to lose legit mail that was misclassified. Better to create a spam directory and put mail classified as spam in there.

Your best bet is procmail + spam assassin. The trick is to call SA from sendmail, postfix or whatever you have on your system.

Did it ever cross your mind that the software might not be so crappy, but that the user might not know how to write filters correctly? I really get tired of people blaming the software, and yes, there is some really crappy software out there but a program that has been in widespread use for a long time has almost all the bugs fixed and ain't all that crappy. -- Bob Holtzman Your mail is being read by tight lipped NSA agents who fail to see humor in Doctor Strangelove Key ID 8D549279 signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
