When my ISP switched on greylisting my mail immediately went from a spam:ham ratio of 80:20 to one of 20:80, which pretty much where it has stayed ever since. The soam:ham ratio is reported on a daily basis by my spamkiller filter that I wrote and installed immediately downstream of my local copy of SA. The filter quarantines spam for a week before deleting it. I don't use my ISP's copy of SA because it didn't do a good job on some of the maillists I get: my local SA does, but has a ruleset that is highly customised for my mail stream. Martin
