Re: Spam Solution

[Scott Warren <sw () shelton org>]

One thing I do not like about our hosted service is that the end user  
does not have the ability to say something is or is not spam, that is  
done thru an Admin screen as a broad sweeping rule.  On the other  
hand, our hosted service does a pretty good job keeping the spam out.   
We actually just tag our spam and let it thru, then end users can  
delete it based on the tag unless the recognize something that makes  
it legitimate.  Some how the important emails randomly get tagged as  
spam.
