I run SA through procmail, then use tmda to look for the SA headers and route flagged mail to a spam mailbox. This has two advantages: 1) You're not faced with thousands of messages in the queue 2) You're not wasting everyone's bandwidth by sending confirmation requests to forged addresses. Using SA, tmda rules, etc, I only get a message or two in my pending queue every day. -- monique _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
