I, unfortunately, have found that Entourage's JMF is completely inadequate for me. On my work accounts I have a combination of DNSBLs, content filtering and Spamassassin to help with the barrage of messages. After training Spamassassin's Bayesian component, this is now extremely efficient at filtering out Spam. This .Mac account seems to either get practically no spam or Apple is doing an incredible job of killing it before it reaches me. And on my Earthlink account I have their SpamBlocker working for me. I didn't want to implement their challenge-response defense, though, and, without it, SpamBlocker is not very good (I still receive 15-20 Spam messages a day on that account). I wish they would implement Spamassassin like I did on our work server... -Remo Del Bello -- To attack a man for talking nonsense is like finding your mortal enemy drowning in a swamp and jumping in after him with a knife. - Karl Popper -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
