Some rather sane ASSP guidelines there Thomas! Many thanks, they are worth much 'gold'... For me, ASSP currently clears about 97.5% of my spam and fraud mails. Years long past, before ASSP, I used to recieve ~230 bad mails per day, but this day - with thanks to ASSP 2.x, I might now see 3-6 per week! I make strong use of the 'early' penalty block, and less on regex, and the result is rather good! I get a few 'trick spammer's / robot's' that try to over-load my mail server, but ASSP's restriction [var] allows a safe limit on # connections.
