I use MDaemon. In the main user interface, I select SECURITY -> SPAM FILTER, and then on the SPAM FILTERING TAB, there are a couple of options: - Don't filter messages sent from local sources - Don't filter messages from trusted or authenticated sources I turn both of these on. Elsewhere in MDaemon's configuration I define just what "local" means (I believe I've got it set for 192.168.47.0/24, which covers my LAN segment), and I've enabled the ability (or is it requirement? I forget) for my users, who are mostly remote users and not on my LAN, to AUTHENTICATE all mail sessions when sending mail through my server. As a result of all of this, neither MessageSniffer nor any of MDaemon's other anti-spam tools (SpamAssassin, etc.) are ever called to process outgoing mail. -- Joey Lindstrom ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <sniffer@sortmonster.com>.
