The best place to stop spam, is to deny it right at the on set, so as to not load up your system trying to deliver bad mail. -Daniel The simple solution if you're running sendmail is to install mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin and mail/procmail. It checks for known hooks, verifies headers and checks for mail servers that are in the various RBLs. I've been using it for 2 weeks and only had one false positive. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
