Rick, I, for one, have not seen any increase in spam getting through recently. It may be because I have so many other filters in front of Sniffer that my capture/reject rates are so high, but I have not had a single spam make it through to my own inbox this entire week. That's on the verge of a record for me. I'm sure that I am personally targeted with a minimum of 300+ spams each day. I have not heard any complaints from my users as of late, either.
Sniffer is just a single tool, and it takes an entire arsenal if you want to get anywhere near (or above) a 99% spam kill rate. You may very well want to check on the declude list concerning the latest tweaks to that software for the best performance. I use MxGuard, so I couldn't really give you much advice on Declude. The bottom line is, the more spam you stop BEFORE it gets to Sniffer, the better off you will be. Sniffer is pulling its own weight here very nicely, so I'm sure that mileage may vary. If anything, I am seeing less spam get through this week than I did the week before. William Van Hefner Network Administrator Vantek Communications, Inc. 555 H Street, Ste.
