Hi,
My two cents... - For SPAM control, SpamAssasin appears to be a reliable solution and it's easy to setup. - I think that the mailing list management system needs an upgrade, these days "mailman" is more popular and appears to have more features, it usually bounces to the list-owner for approval messages like - too big (the size limit can be defined) - with to many recipients... Another advantage is that the mailing list history is kept up to date. Best regards, Francis Hallahan wrote: > > >We have a number of filters in place.
