You apparently have no postfix experience. With smart implementation of modern/recent versions, it will eliminate 95+% of *all* spam, with ZERO false positives, and utilizing *very* little system resources. So, I have no concern about losing ASSP's 'up front' filtering, I only want to take advantage of ASSP's most excellent content filtering (quarantining any suspected spam), spam reporting (love(!) the on-demand spam reporting ability!), and sender-based white/black listing (anything detected on the black list should go to dev/null)... -- Best regards, */Charles/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
