That is a good choice, but you ought to do your own spam filtering on your own computer. If you're writing procmail rules (like Bill is), you should have the procmail rules run a well-trained spamassassin yourself. > > I finally got irritated enough to forward my sonic email to a server > under my control. I should have done that a long time ago! My mail setup involves having fetchmail grab my mail from ucdavis.edu every 5 minutes (by cron), and when it does it strips any spamassassin report that might already be included in the message, then it filters off a few email lists that I trust, then it runs the remainder through SpamAssassin, before continuing to filter. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures. My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. *** _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
