Eliminating spam is not really an option unless you are willing to toss out anything valuable that SA might catch by accident. The plan is to *manage* spam.
We pipe spam to a separate mailbox just for that purpose, and then check that mailbox every so often to (a) loosen rules that are catching too much good stuff and (b) purge the spam messages. They never reach our users, except for me ... the guy who checks for that kind of thing. Takes about a minute. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 1/25/06 at 2:46 PM Michael Di Martino wrote: >Theo Van Dinter wrote: >> On Wed, Jan 25, 2006 at 12:51:32PM -0500, Michael Di Martino wrote: >>> I am using the latest stable ver of spamassassin along w/ Simscan on >>> an SMTP (qmail) stor-&-forward server.
