James, Thanks for the reply. I was not planing on double scanning, the BCC idea is basically the same, though I would be doing it vial the /etc/aliases mapping to make it transparent. I am running Sendmail as the MTA.
The real question is how do to the spam check, either during or after the messages hit the PDA mailbox. That is where the script or other appropriate tool would come in. Advice on such a tool would be appreciated. --- Kind Regards, David http://www.flanigan.net ---------- Original Message ----------- From: JamesDR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:13:43 -0500 Subject: Re: Precleaning SA market spam from Mbox? > David Flanigan wrote: > > Spam [WINDOWS-1252?]Guru�s: > > > > I have a question that I am hoping one of you may be able to answer. > > > > We run the latest version of SA running spamc/spamd with a global (not per > > user) > > config, and tag messages as spam for latter filtering by the mail client, > > as is > > appropriate.
