Anyways, any ideas of a good solution for killing spam would be most welcome, and one that works with the pop toaster.
Using SpamAssassin at the MTA level (via qmail-scanner), I tag messages as spam at 7 hits, and I have a small hack for qmail-scanner that will quarantine it at 13 hits and above. If you quarantine at too low of a threshold, you may pull legitimate mail, and that's just as bad for the customer (IMO). There's also a shell script that works with qmailmrtg7 to graph virus/spam hits.
I haven't had time to document this stuff, but hope to include them in the next revision of this toaster. Actually, they are not hard to figure out, and I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this...
Cheers,
Bill
