Hi, I've got my crm set up via my personal ~/.procmailrc . It can also be setup system wide, however I haven't needed that recently. The crm home page does discuss site wide deployment: http://crm114.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php I note one can even use it with Spamassassin. I didn't go that way. I dropped Spamassassin because it was spawning far too many processes that were absorbing far too much of my available system resources, so that other tasks on my server were suffering. Am I completely happy with the results? No. I still get too many false positives and consequently still need to look at my spam folder from time to time. I've white-listed many more email sources than I would have expected. However, I see no more than a dozen or so emails in my inbox daily, and that's a big improvement over what I was getting from Spamassassin. hth Janina covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > How would you use crm114 for spam filtering?
