I'll second that.

SA is awesome--with tweaking. Even so, if you have a published address
that gets a lot of mail and is an initial point of contact, eg.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], you're still going to get a significant amount of
spam unless you're willing to live with false positives and/or spend a
lot of time tweaking. I'm itching to try greylisting, too.

Thanks,

I've actually not been too impressed.  Lots of spam gets through, and I
do maintain a corpus of manually sorted ham and spam that is updated
every 24 hours.

I tend to err on the side of caution with my UCE controls, though,
because I've found repeatedly if I get much more aggressive I get false
positives.  Unacceptable.

I'm between OpenBSD boxes right now (the new firewall isn't quite to my
liking yet) so I'm not getting as much pre-SA filtering as I would like.
