Yes, but your solution *will* *not* *work* for people receiving the SLUG list in digest mode. When subscribed in digets mode, people receive one email per day with all email posted to the list. That means all the rants, all the resonses and all the spam. As far as I am aware, Spam Assasin cannot be run in any way which filters spam from non-spam in a single email. Whats worse is if someone accidentally uses a SLUG digest email to train their spam filters. If anyone had the misfortune to do this, I suspect that all email with SLUG related information (Linux, networking, email, server setup, free software etc) will thereafter be considered spam.

At that point, the use of Ada gives no further productivity advantage. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
