It is worth it. It has been a while since I did the analysis at one ISP I admin for, but based on a post-analysis of 10,000 rejects on about 70,000 total offered pieces across a 3 or 4 day period, I had 3 complaints. Server load was and remains dramatically reduced. But then, I had complete support from the owners of the ISP. At another site, in 3500 users, only 2 domains, and maybe ten users decided to 'opt-out' and be a 'spam-friend' (see the README.cf for sendmail for the term's meaning ...) -- Russ Herrold _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
