my spam assassin stopped working sometime last evening, due to operator
error no doubt.
I had 140 odd spams in my inbox this morning instead of in the spam
folder. my mail does not go via my isp, i run my own mail server, with
the result that the isp does not get its dibs into processing my mail.

It just goes to show how much we have come to depend on such tools,
either our own or the isp's.
would spam filtering be a good topic for a talk? or did volker cover it?
(sorry i wasn't there to see). I don't profess to be an expert, but
someone once said that to teach you only need to know a little more than
your pupils :)
[1] this is all on top of the 615 connection attempts since log rollover
at 4.00 am today to random addresses at rout dot co dot nz that get
dropped simply because the recipient does not exist locally.
Is anyone interested in trying an alternative to spamassassin? Plugs
into sendmail/qmail before local delivery. Slowlaris, too.
If so, please get in touch with me off list.
Cheers,
