Most (99%) of mail I just have sent to my dsl address - and that gets processed by my mail server which is slightly to the left of me on the floor :). OTOH I have a tsoft.com backup email address but 99% of that is just spam right now. It used to be manageable but the amount of spam has simply gotten out of control in the last couple of weeks. Spamassassin manages to pick out a good portion of it, but not everything. It *used* to catch nearly everything out there. But I had to rebuild my system recently and reinstalled spamassassin along with everything else. One point - one seems to need some other libraries in order to get spamassassin to process most of he spam that it used to process before. In particular, I installed libnet-dns-perl and the result was that spamassassin performed more DNS related tests on the incoming messages that it wasn't doing before. I've also tried installing the fuzzy OCR plugin, to hopefully combat the tide of spammers sending phony pump & dump stock spam as attached gifs/jpgs. But that doesn't seem to work. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
