Thanks Max!
Ironically, this is the exact program we were looking to emulate. I
have a guy right now that is running though their list of 'tests' and is
coding all the conditionals to work within the framework of our application.
Hope to have something worth testing by week's end.
Ciao, Bill

While not a test program per se, anyone looking at spam filters needs to
consider SpamAssassin (www.spamassassin.org). I've gone through many
methods of spam control and this is it (IMHO). Very widely used, in active
development, and being incorporated into commercial products. So get this
set up somewhere and test with it. If you don't have a unix-type box
available, check around for something called SAProxy (I think) which is a
Windows POP3 proxy which scans mails using SpamAssassin. I've also written
a SMTP proxy in Perl which uses SA, but I don't think it will run on Windows
easily.
If worst comes to worst you can send me your newsletter and I'll tell you
how high it scored using SpamAssassin and which checks were triggered :-)
Cheers,
