My dad had a terrible experience with iPowerWeb, both their spam
filtering and their 'customer service'. We experienced erratic
behaviour of their mail system. In the end, we ended up hosting our
family domain with a local ISP, which has proven a little more
expensive but a pleasure to work with.
Perhaps someone here could provide you with good hosting? I would if
I were in the states.
FWIW, I highly recommend dSPAM for spam filtering. It's quite good at
learning. There's a plugin for squirrelmail, and I'm sure it can be
made to work with just about any mail setup. But yes, client-side
filtering is always much more straight-forward, if less powerful.
Cheers,

Hi All
Sorry for the perhaps off-topicness of my question, but maybe I'm
not the only person having trouble with an apparently server-based
SpamAssassin program.
I'm in charge of info for ADISI www.adisi.ch, a site hosted at
ipowerweb.com. For the last week, a spamassassin program has been
the subject line on e-mails sent to @adisi.ch addresses into just
"SPAM::" when it calculates they are spam. I suspect the program is
a "bonus" offered by ipowerweb, on the basis of:

in the header of these renamed e-mails.
- As it presently works, Spamassassin is zany: it lets through tons
hardcore porn, and labels SPAM perfectly legitimate e-mails
- Anyway, I don't want a piece of software to make choices without
my having any say: I prefer to customize Thunderbird myself using
the "junk labeling": if I goof, there is only a dustbin next to a
legit message, it doesn't get renamed.
- ADISI's webmaster, owner of the adisi.ch domain name and
signatory of the contract with ipowerweb says he doesn't
understand, as he has disabled the spam filter and in fact, until
last week there was no trace of its interference in @adisi.ch e-mails.
If I am right in surmising that Spamassassin is on the ipowerweb
server, how come it became active again after being disabled? Is
there a way to permanently disable it?
Thanks for your patience and for your potential answers.
