If you would implement such a functionality into DSPAM then you would not have big benefit since the implementation would only test that DSPAM would flag the GTube string as spam but would not in any way show that DSPAM is working properly. The reason for that is that DSPAM uses statistical data to make it decisions and you hacking the DSPAM code to output SPAM in case of the GTube string is 100% working around the internal working path of DSPAM. So I don't see a big benefit of implementing such a functionality into DSPAM. Can you explain what the goal or reason is you want DSPAM to act positive to a GTube string? > -- > Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 > Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
