You can run Razor from within SpamAssassin within Amavis within Postfix (or within MimeDefang within Sendmail or within something within Exim, etc.) and use it to reject mail during the SMTP phase or silently discard the mail before final delivery to the user. Admonishments to the contrary, sysadmins frequently use tools in ways the authors don't intend. For example, rejecting at the SMTP phase saves a lot of resources downstream which translates into real money. You shouldn't do this unless you're sure you're rejecting crap and the gray area is your local definition of 'sure.' > If a postmaster is using a setup that drops a message based on it's > spaminess instead of delivering then it's not the fault of the antispam > product.

True, but if you can fix the product, you reduce the competence/attention level required of thousands of local admins. Given limited time and energy, is it easier to fix one product or retrain thousands of admins? In this case, the fix makes the product better and more accurate for everyone, it's not just a quick exception for one mailing list. -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
