As-is would be best but is not required as far as I can tell. The ">" and other forward info could possible skew the Bayesian a bit, but it's not a huge issue. Make sure they are not reporting spam that ASSP has already marked as spam (Bayesian test mode for example). If your users are using outlook I found the best way to forward as an attachment was to create a new message and then drag the spam message into the new message as an attachment. Perhaps I'll add a section on the wiki addressing these questions. Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
