Thanks, May I trouble you for some hints on a direction to take. Perhaps a link to a walk-through? I have searched the web and found nothing. I have both spamassassin books and not a word. I couldn't find a mimedefang book.

The key advantage is being able to apply rules conditionally. For example the Spamhaus PBL should be used only on incoming.
