check your hop setting in plugins/filters/setup.php. check dnscache file in SquirrelMail data directory. It contains checked ip addresses. If file contains only your own ip address, your hop setting is not correct. filters plugin provides only minimal protection. If you want better filtering - configure RBL in SMTP server. Blacklist known spam sources (for example listed in Spamhaus RBL), compromised hosts (abuseat.org list) and DUL addresses (SORBS, NJABL, MAPS DUL). Second level of protection can be provided by SpamAssassin, DSPAM or CRM114. Users should be able to control SpamAssassin and DSPAM with sasql plugin. Third level of protection can be provided by Bayes filtering (built in SpamAssassin or provided by BayesSpam plugin). -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
