Correct me if I am wrong BUT the problem with spamassassin is that the receiving mail server still has to receive that garbage. I want a solution that does not waste any more of my resources than absoutly necessary. I am a big fan of rejecting spam based on it's source and NEVER having it delivered an any way shape or form. AFAIK the only way to accomplish that is through the use of header checks and RBL's. The more load I can put on the spam scum's servers the better.
