Spamassassin is not something trivially installed like a piece of Microsoft junkware. In fact, it is nearly impossible to get it to do anything useful without reading lots of documents Daryl. Couple this with the fact it only *scores* mail - it does not block it - any mish mash of rules could be argued to be 'safe'. If it were deployed at the SMTP level where it was kicking out 55x's it may be a different story. So the 'safe' angle really has no legs. > > If you like you can transparently disable the DNSWLs. I found it much more useful to apply them as blocklists and give the a +4/+8 myself - but that's a personal choice. Thank you for your time Daryl. We don't agree - but I don't want to waste more of your personal time on this. -- This e-mail and any attachments may form pure opinion and may not have any factual foundation.
