Let me clarify: I use spamassassin as mail arrives smtp. When I say I must first receive, I'm talking about it coming in over the wire. I never actually see it in mutt, until I go looking at it on purpose. It doesn't get in way whatsoever, but I could imagine it would still be a problem on a dial up connection where choking the bandwidth would be of concern. PS: I use sendmail. I figure, "stick with the leader that delivers 90% of the mail to the Fortune 1000." Kenny Hitt writes: > Hi.
