This is done by my ISP, but they have set it up in a way that gives users quite a bit of control. I was initially considering disabling the ISP's Spamassasin and doing my own. It is a bit of work to keep the rules current in the ongoing spam wars. Instead, I started a few threads in the local ISP newsgroups asking for much more control. They listened and did it, so I use theirs. In Spamassasin, you can put info either in the message text or in headers. I find headers a bit easier to filter. Re versions, I would plan on keeping very current. The spam wars move fast, and you need to keep ahead of the latest spammer tricks. I used to run Spam Bouncer, and found you needed to update quite often. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
