Yup, agreed, being that I run and maintain a bunch of mail servers I can strongly concur with that, however tools like graylisting cut that number down significantly. http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/whitepaper.html This is very similar to the tarpitting feature MS added to Exchange 2003 SP2. You can then perform backend processing like spamassassin et al, but the main advantage to greylisting is the mailserver doesn't even have to process the spam messages. -- Harondel J.
