Of course, for a large body of blocked messages there are several/day (at the current level of spam and current quality of countermeasures) which are not recognized: X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.2 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE autolearn=no version=3.1.0 I admit my current setup wouldn't help if spam went up by a couple or two orders of magnitude, but then, it's rather a mouth-breather. By the time I would have to sink serious resources into it I'd be the first to admit that spam is no longer other people's problem. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
