Also see the following debian package (hamm only, I think). You'll need to do some configuring before it works, but it is actually quite easy: $ dpkg -s spamdb Package: spamdb Maintainer: Craig Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [..] Description: Fully automated building and maintaining of a Blacklist This package retrieves well-known blacklists from the Net and builds a database of spam sites. The blacklist is automatically updated every week. . The Spam blacklist can then be used by mailers to reject spam. The package includes scripts to convert it's database to a format usable by specific mail transport agents. . This version is highly modular and extensible . This package will *NOT* reconfigure mailers to use the spamdb. There are far too many possible ways of doing it that I feel it should be a local sysadmin policy decision. Whichever way you choose to do it, spamdb can support it. -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The upstream maintainer is allowed to do things different than Debian, but only if he has good reasons to do so. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
