Firt I use the access feature to totaly block particular sites which are known to send only spam. ( http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti_spam.html#access_db ) If they pass this first test they eventually get blocked by four DNSBL checks. ( http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#dnsbl ) Later they get passed to Spamassasin, which acts as a milter to Sendmail. Spamassasin tags all potential spam (nothing is deleted). ( http://www.spamassassin.org/ ) ( http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt ) I use procmail as my local mail delivery agent. Procmail may delete all spamtagged mail (from Spamassasin) but I prefer to have a fast look at each message and delete manually. Procmail also filters all mail with the Anomy sanitizer. The sanitizer drops dangerous attachments and may run the messages through a third party virus scanner. ( http://www.procmail.org/ ) ( http://mailtools.anomy.net/ ) After that it ends up in my inbox. So whatever MUA you use is not that important... you probably want to kill the spam before it reaches you inbox. These are the ports I use: /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin /usr/ports/mail/spamass-milter /usr/ports/mail/procmail /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 (requiered by latest Anomy) But the answer to your question is Mutt and webmail from my work! I hope you got some ideas! Take care, Mackan
