Like all messages from this list (and others i am subscribed to) are whitelisted as well as addresses from work and friends. All messages containing p*nis enlargements, Viagra, etc... are blacklisted via procmail. Only messages i can not tag myself and get through my procmail filter are passed into spamassassin to finish the job. I even have my required value set to 2.0 and i hardly get false positives because most valid mail has already been handled by procmail and delivered into my mailbox. This combo works very nicely. jan
