Recently I was in contact with a ISP run by a midwestern company which is having problems being overrun by spam. Some like juno and myrealbox have addresses to which you can send spam received for them to improve filtering though I am not sure how good it is as I still get some spam on those services. As I understand it spam assassin is for client side control and smitespam is for the ISP side. But can spam assassin be used by an ISP perhaps with client submissions to control spam? If I can ill try to get them to see things our way. CWSIV ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

My ISP, sonic.net uses spamassassin for their email. They are running Red Hat linux and you have the capability to add white and black lists via a web browser. I get very few spam on this account and hardly any positives. Get an email each day showing the spam held and after 7 days it is deleted. Art
There is also a very good spam program called ASSP You can find it on sourceforge My be better than spamassasin http://www.susediary.com On Thursday 11 March 2004 10:11, Art Fore wrote:
