You may also want to look at the following bug in SA's bugzilla. We've got patches maintained to 2.61 right now, expect to have patches to 2.63, etc. Working with the devs to get the system merged into the dist tree. http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2167 If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them off-list. -- Kelsey Cummings - [EMAIL PROTECTED] sonic.net, inc.
