I've thought about it. I have some misgivings, simply because I'm tired of getting any false positives at all. (Previously I was using a similar blacklisting filter which originally I had as procmail recipes and then converted to a Python script.) Another major issue is that simply because of the mail volume, I'm reticent to spend additional processing resources if I don't have to. A started gravitating toward a whitelisting system because of the minimal CPU work required per received email (compared with, say, SpamAssassin or SpamBayes) and the simplicity. (Originally I was going to write my own minimal whitelisting filter, but I found TMDA and realized it had everything I wanted and much more.) Even if I did eventually switch to a SA/TMDA combination, I think the suggestion has merit. Even for people with relatively low spam loads, being able to automatically single out not-delivered-but-possibly-interesting email automatically seems useful. (In that case you'd interactively check the marked mail first more attentively, then check the rest of it.) -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ __ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && &tSftDotIotE / \ \__/ I sleep and dream that life is / All beauty -- Lamya _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
