Yup, welcome to the sad club. If it makes you feel better, it's not just debian-user; it seems like activity in any mailing list or usenet group makes you vulnerable. My current setup seems to work: 1) All mail accounts forwarded to home machine 2) procmail kills all messages within a certain size range that match swen's signature (found this rule on d-u) 3) procmail runs spamassassin on messages to add spam headers 4) procmail runs tmda 5) tmda performs all sorts of filtering -- spam to a "special" mailbox, white lists, dropping messages w/executable attachments from unknown sources, etc. If messages don't match any of my rules, they are kept in the tmda-prending queue till I want to deal with them. (I have tmda set to hold, not confirm.) -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly. I will most likely see your post before I read your mail, anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
