I understand the issue of troubleshooting and repair. How long I have worked on it is irrelavant as I have alreayd said, I don't know what I am doing. If I did have the knowledge I would be able to fix it and more than likely, quickly. I personally work in computer repair, not in Server Setup

If SMFilter adds its own headers, couldn't you just write a custom rule for SA that gives any message with those headers a negative score? - Original Message - From: WFGB Team To: Sanford Whiteman Cc: users@spamassassin.apache.org Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 11:31 AM Subject: Re:
