1. Use RBL at smtp level if you can. RBL in SMTP is basic spam filtering. RBL in email client software slows down your email client and should be avoided in bigger installs. http://www.dnsbl.us.sorbs.net/mailsystems/msex2003.html 2. spam filters included in squirrelmail are not accurate and contains bugs. They test only ip that comes after YourHop. Bulkquery code needs some debugging and fixes. You can find list of tested ip addresses in dnscache file in squirrelmail data directory. In order to debug then, you need to compare tested addresses and addresses that are marked by RBL filters. http://www.declude.com/JunkMail/Support/ip4r.htm -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
