* This is the modus mailing list *
Hello Ken, While the sieve filters have not changed from 2.x they are almost a thing of the past.. I am only using 2 filters, one to bypass some specific addresses and another one to do input some variables for new viruses that may not yet be in the anti-virus engine. The big "spam kicker" is the new SCA engine.. You can read about it here: http://www.vircom.com/Modus3/ I have no server wide whitelist/blacklist. I don't believe you will need them except for maybe a pesty person who likes to harass... Challenge/response is not used. You can still select the levels of scanning for viruses, spam and attachments. You will be PLEASED!!
