The problem is not tmda-cgi, which does its job perfectly. It's tmda's behavior that causes trouble: it sees 'aol.com' in a DBM blacklist as a domain filter. Since tmda is running on a qmail relay server, a lot of spam fills the queue. But from time to time there are useful messages there, too. So I have to check the queue. One solution may be to _delete_ spam messages instead of blacklisting them. It is correct that a lot of spammers use random addresses and blacklisting them is useless. BUT there are still a lot of blocked mails (I don't know if they are from spammers that are too stupid to change the sender) and I would regret to lose this feature. Is there no solution to tell tmda NOT to regard 'aol.com' as a domain filter? These filters should be in an extra list (not DBM for using wildcards) Quirin _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
