Wouldn't it be possible to configure the mail server to filter the mail based on the header content? That is, * Is it spam? => Yes => Now do the following: 1. If mail from a mailing list or precedence Bulk or has List-Id in headers, discard it 2. Reject with 5xx - Spam This is kind of what I have setup postfix to do except I filter based on source IP - could be easier to setup in master's case. If mail is from a known mailing list server (eg. debian, sourceforge), it gets accepted and processed in a post queue filter with spam being dropped. If mail is not from a known mailing list server, it goes to default configuration which does pre-queue filtering where spam is rejected with 5xx SMTP level message. I'm sure it would be possible to set it up based on the existence of Priority: Bulk or List-Id: headers. The only side effect is sometimes the number of connections are more than the server can filter, but that is not generally a significant problem. It just means the connection is delayed for a few minutes. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
