With all respect, newbie users aren't likely to be using sendmail, procmail and mutt/pine. They're going to be using KMail, or Evolution, and checking their mail directly through these programs. That doesn't leave much space for a Mandrake-created spam filter, though you could provide them with pre-written spam-filtering rules in their own filtering setups. I don't personally think this would be a good idea, though. -- adamw
