If you are having problems with memory after downloading the rules, you just need to be careful that you use the right ones. Read the descriptions of the rules carefully and only use the ones that you think would be useful. Any time you add more rules, the spamd children will take up more memory, but it shouldn't be too bad. And if you do run into problems, you can always lower the max number of children in your spamd startup command to give the children more room. I posted this list a day or two ago, but the most useful SARE rules on my system are: 70_sare_stocks.cf 70_sare_adult.cf 70_sare_specific.cf Besides the SARE rules, you should also consider URIBL, Razor, and FuzzyOCR. -- Bowie
