I get what I would call minimum spam, just enough to train SA with. A bad day is 10. When I was using my old account at the tv station, several years ago, the spam count was often 200+ a day. Whatever barracuda is trained to do, its doing it very well. So if you hear me complaining about spam, its plainly been a bad day all around, and likely some other straw has broke this old camels back. :) Thanks Andrew. > Cheers > A. > _______________________________________________ > clamav-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users > > > Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: > https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq > > http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
