If this is just a personal workstation, you might be interested in PopFile (popfile.sf.net). I use it both on Windows and Linux and it works like a champ. It runs under Perl and is fairly easy to install and get trained. You say that you installed S.A. on your mail server. If you're serving multiple clients, that's probably a way to go, but PopFile makes a great personal spam killing tool for workstation use. -- Dave Roberts <ldave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
