spamassassin is a great anti-spam bot. Only real downside, is that you do have to receive the spam locally before spamassassin can dispose of it, but it does work well. I see only about 10-12 spams a day, and I get several hundred emails a day. My spamassassin is configured to throw spam into its own mail folder, premarked for deletion. Ocassionally, I go in there and look to see if some message was put there erroneously. I haven't found any errors in the past months, and I'm always amazed at how many messages are there, when I do look. And, when I leave the folder, they're all gone, because they've already been marked for deletion, and my ua is set to delete on folder exit. randy turner writes: > > > hi adam, > well that sure explanes it > sure wish they would tell you > when they change something like that. > i have been working on this for 4 days now. > i could turn the spam feture off > but i don't want all of that spam > in my box. > thanks for all of the help > randy > > On Tue, 15 Feb 2005, Adam Myrow wrote: > > >On Tue, 15 Feb 2005, randy turner wrote: > > > >>well i have to run get-mail first, > >>then pine will send the message like it should > >>does this give any one any ideas? > > > >It's a feature of your ISP which forces you to authenticate with your POP > >server, and then, it will let you send mail for a limited time.
