If I wanted an antivirus/antispam project, I would put the filter BEFORE the squid, so squid would just see and cache its results. Spam pages would be replaced by small/short notification "this is spam" or probably by a redirect to such notification. This notification/redirect could be cached to prevent spam-checking the same page again -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
