RE: SPAM filter...

[Chris Santerre <csanterre () MerchantsOverseas com>]

I figure I might as well mention that there are some incredible custom rule
sets for Spamassassin. I'm not sure if everyone who uses SA is on the SATALK
list so I'll post info on the sets:

You REALLY want Weeds, Popcorn, and Backhair sets from:
http://www.emtinc.net/spamhammers.htm 

And *toot* my own horn, you want bigevil.cf from the link in my sig.
(usually updated weekly, but it has been daily for fun.)There is another
ruleset coming out soon that also rocks! THe link in my sig will soon be
moved to a newer site with a searchable DB for custom rules. SA is growing
up fast ;-)
