I would like to help with the nightly masscheck but I don't have the resources to manually check ham and spam. This also gets into the grey area of how people define spam. I also have a very good MTA setup with RBLs and DNS checks that block most of the spam before it reaches SA in MailScanner. My SA only has to block a very small percentage of my definition of spam so I am not sure how helpful my mail filtering platform can be even though it's very accurate. Dave
