This works awesome... I've been using TMDA here for a while, and it does exactly this... it is the best anti-spam "investment" I have ever made... spam is now 0/day, consistently, when it used to be 25+/day. Very nice. For some info (somewhat dated already due to development on TMDA), you can read http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/spam2.php or else visit the TMDA homepage at http://tmda.sourceforge.net/. TMDA is also in contribs (I just have to update it to the latest version sometime this week). -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6mdk uptime: 7 days 3 hours 39 minutes.
