That about covers it, and seems to indicate that there are some scoring rules in Spamassassin as I use it on all incoming mail from shentels pop3 port that could be turned up, way up. Fetchmail to procmail and procmail does ALL that checking. But what about what I send? Other than my password to access shentels mail server, I don't think they retain anything else so they could even properly set that stuff up, and my local domain is not known beyound my dd-wrt reflashed router. And from the wording of the rfc's, I doubt if I should try to set kmail 1.9.10 up to do it. I use TDE, r14.0.4 here. You could look at the headers of this message to see if its proper. > it helps you to score messages or even whitelist them without > whitelist a forged sender (SpamAssassin: whitelist_auth) Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
