I know. However, I'm _really_ busy at the moment, and we will be transitioning stuff over to a new server. (There's a long story behind that which involves various UK parcel companies, many months, lost parcels and parcels turning up at completely the wrong end of the country...) Currently, someone else is looking in to sorting out the mail server configurations so that we can easily transition people over to the new server, though we're waiting on some mail server software features which will be available in the next version. Then there is the problem that we have several tens of domains to deal with, and not all of them may wish to have a restrictive spam policy. In other words, it's going to be a while before this can be resolved satisfactorially. > Also I'd like to remark it's not a complaint, but a sugestion, as > I have my own spam filter (gmail) and it works very well.

Indeed it would, but it takes time and effort when dealing with a system which has "evolved" rather than having been sanely planned from the start. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core
