Hi Pieter. Things are going pretty well. In my case this mail server is just for my family, so if I could say, deny all from hotmail.com, but accept these specific ones from hotmail.com that would work for us.
I'll take a look at your suggestion. I was also looking at procmail as well, but I'm not sure if I need to go to that length. The spam isn't too bad right now. I usually have a few in the morning that I just delete, then I might get a couple more the rest of the day. Thanks for your suggestion.
