My choice of mail client and OS is a consequence of my choosing panix as a hosting service - I wanted somewhere with usenet access, and with no mail filtering other than anything I choose to do myself. I used to use elm, but nowadays I've pretty much switched over to mutt full time. I call SpamAssassin from my .procmailrc; it still filters out almost all the junk, no matter how hard the spammers try to circumvent it. And I've got other tools to filter out viruses (not that any of those are likely to target FreeBSD, so if one ever does slip through there's not much chance of it doing any damage). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
