from our own experience at mozcom, spamassassin may be effective, but it's not THAT effective. you can get the most bang for your buck by DNS blacklist to spamhaus (www.spamhaus.org). mozcom is unusually spammy (i don't know why, somebody must really like us) -- of our 1M incoming messages per day only about 100-150k are legit. spamhaus blocks about 600-700k messages (about 60 - 70% of it). all other means (ORDB, spamassassin, my homegrown techniques) account for the remainder. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
