Having only subscribers being able to email can help too, even if it just puts a penalty onto the email instead of blocking it. You can also have a whitelist subscription which works just like you are subscribed but you receive no email. Did it say it was spam-like or spam? There is a scoring used so even if the email scored 4 or so it still goes through. > I removed the training and went back to the rule set method.

Simple changes such as > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> user _at_ hostname.place > currently seem to be effective. It can help. Not with list spam but with spam to subscribers of the list. There's no one good way, 60-90% of my email is detected spam or spam attempts. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
