Erm, I'm roughly 99.999% against that idea. What if someone's writing to ask how to secure their FreeBSD box that's currently being used as a spam relay (and is on many blackhole lists)? For what it's worth, I run SpamAssassin locally, and use it to *mark* possible spams, but never drop them. Then I configured my client to filter based on the `X-Spam-Status' header into a spam folder that I periodically check. Once a month or so, I find a piece of mail that *should* have passed but was marked, so I have to adjust my rules and/or whitelist accordingly. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
