lus, the assume guilty until proven innocent thing is ridiculous. What's also stupid is people who deliver messages found to be spam to /dev/null. What makes sense is to save all mail, and actually _look_ through messages tagged as spam to ensure that there are no False Positives. SpamAssassin can do this, and does it well. There are better solutions to the spam problem than yours. -- Duncan Findlay pgpFZWUxQM6wE.pgp Description: PGP signature
