I am really getting tired of adding in entries into the access

dumping spammers into the trash - and yet - I am still forced
to review the trash for entries that should not have been trashed.
Seems like a real chore and a losing proposition...
What do admins of sendmail use, besides spamassasin?
Thanks!

one approach is to use the black hole filters, confgure them for
sendmail
and that will catch a lot of bad addresses..
