Funny, I just changed my .procmailrc to send all my spam to /dev/null rather than copy to a spam folder. Reason? Cuz I have been getting absolutely zero false positives or negatives through the FC SA. I only did a couple of sa-learns and it was all tuned up. And yes, it only ever coughed up "learned from 1 message" so this may be a hard-wired output. -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@xxxxxxx
