I'm really loving the URL Blacklist, it's a | great | new feature.

The only thing I didn't know how to handle was merging the | update from Ipswitch with what I had already. I wasn't sure if you could | edit the URL Domain Blacklist directly or not. | | | Thanks for all the info. | | Andy | | | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sean Kenworthy | > Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 12:50 PM | > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Antispam updates overwrite? | > | > | > A nice, easy method of populating the URL Blacklist table, (which | > has been catching some 60% of the spam for me) is to gather known | > spam in a mailbox and create a Bat file that runs the | > antispamseeder.
