Recommend you implement greylisting along with spamassassin. You can do this using your favorite MTA. I have used sendmail in the past with miltergreylist, and spamassassin via procmail. There are many ways to implement these so pick out one of the many how to's on the web and setup a test system. The benefit of greylisting is that you won't incur the high overhead of running spamassassin on all the spam. At times I would see the email server almost get overwhelmed by spam storms. After implementing greylisting it never broke a sweat. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Excellent day to have a rotten day.
