I should have made it clearer in my original post that there is no issue with *catching* these spams (I get them all, either with SA or with procmail), it's just that I was concerned that the huge disparity between the volume of these particular spams and that of the regular stuff would "poison" my carefully nurtured Bayes db. I think I'm going to /dev/null them anyway, which means the problem will go away. My only concern with that is if they start coming in a *slightly* different format that my procmail recipe doesn't catch, will Bayes still get them? Have to try it and see I guess... Thanks for you input... Mark
