I have SpamAssassin also, but it's not reliable enough - it misses a lot of spam, and every now and then tags a legit email. Because of that I have to review all the spam tags to make sure it didn't miss anything.
Make sure you use the latest version. Fighting spam is like fighting viruses. The target is constantly moving so you have to keep the system up to date. I'm using 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 is pretty close to coming out. You can also add custom rules. Follow the user mailing list so you can keep abreast of the trends. I'd recommend that Valve run SA on its mailing list server. I have it on the MA server to cover posts to the lists I run (server admin stuff for Tribes and BF2). If you run it from within MIMEDefang, it will reject the really bad spam (I use a threshold of 10) while the spammer is on the line. I've never seen a false positive with a score of 10. (Between 5 and 10 goes in my spam folder for manual checking, sorted by score so I really only look closely at the low-scoring stuff.) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
