the mail app, But if you are intrested then just ask!I love SA too, although in my case it's being called through MailScanner (does various things, like quarantine bad or dangerous filenamed attachments, very flexible). I'm stuck with maintaining a bunch of very well known and much abused email addresses (around 500 spams and viruses a day). I filter much of it through an eclipse account now, which filters out a lot of junk (so much so that it makes Mailscanner mostly redundant), but the spam still gets through to be reliably eaten by SA. I've also switched the clients onto Thunderbird and taught them how to get it learning what is spam for the few that do get through SA. It mostly works very well. A lot of work to get there, and best to avoid publishing an email address at all if you can help it (one of these have been on websites for 8 years, so you can imagine it's on most bulk lists).
My latest anti-spam attack is to run my own SMTP server as well. Some days I am rejecting 70% of incoming mail just based on non-existant to/from domains etc. This saves my spam filter a heck of a lot of work to do but I am being inindatded with that sober virus (or what ever it is called), 800 mails in my inbox over night, great fun, luckly they all have the same subject line so one big select and delete removes them! -- Robin Cornelius --------------------------------------------------- robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key ID: 0x729A79A23B7EE764 http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x729A79A23B7EE764
