Peter and Brett's answers are good. But let me get right to the point: the ISP mailserver would be marked as good because it behaves properly according to spamd, and then ALL mail would go through. The alternative of manually marking it as bad would mean NO mail would get through. This is a natural result of what spamd does. > If you have an idea ... You need content-level filtering such as bmf or spamassassin or similar. They all take some effort to set up and/or train, and some more effort in maintenance. They can work well with proper care. Also, some mail clients such as Thunderbird have spam filtering built in, which comes pre-trained and is further trainable. That's probably the easiest. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [email protected] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
