It would, except that I am working solely at the client end, ie. I have no direct (or indirect) influence on what happens on the server. From where I stand it's a toss up as to which organisational change is easier to affect ;-) > > And it might FP less. I can get lots of Ham that hits PORN_ > rules. I have lots of friends with potty mouths :) And that's where working at the client end has its benefits. When incorporating spam filters into standard email filters, users have greater flexibility as to when a filter is applied. They can filter out ham first and then apply a filter to treat the remainder as spam. Having looked through the emails on this list it seems that most of the focus is on removing spam at the server, but SpamAssassin also provides users with a useful tool to exercise their own control over what they decide is spam.
