IMOO as spam filter is (generaly) the more time (and ressources) = consummer filter, any way to reduce the number of spam filter hits is allways the welcome. That the best ? 10000 mails going to the 'big' spam filter then some going to the 'low' = av filter ? or 10000 minus (some others 'lowest' filters like av, email syntax = checkers, ....) hiting the 'big machine' ? But it's a personnal point of view :) Francis - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
