I found in my /spam folder over 6,000 emails identified. Windows XP if I even tried to select the files to delete them - I had to open a DOS prompt and delete them that way (don't get me started on what a P.O.S. XP is :( )
Can the spam processor be setup to send the messages to null? or is James being improved so that the Spammer finds they have not reached an open relay (I am assuming that if James accepts the emails, the spammer will continue to feed them) Or am I just being a lazy admin by not reviewing these spams? I have no intention of abandoning James in any case :) Thanks!
