Note that I was speaking about ORBS, not RBL as I mistakenly wrote, but I agree with your statement that it is better to implement local filtering. something of the two-mailbox variety where all the approved stuff goes to one and all the 'filtered' stuff goes to another. Then, you're welcome to never check your spam-box if you dont want, but if you are sure you are missing a mail that you should have, then you can check the other for recent additions. Perhaps you could have quota on the spam box and use some sort of LRU (U? LRR R==recieved...) replacement scheme. Hm this would probably be a big delivery headache and chew lots of disk IO and cpu. well, shrug, its only an idea.
