Nettimers looking for a working, non-intrusive spam filter should have a serious look at SpamAssassin <http://spamassassin.org/>, a free software tool (under the Perl Artistic License) available for Unix-like operating systems and, in combination with a local POP3 proxy, for Windows (see <http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/>). For MacOS X installation instructions, see <http://rhumba.pair.com/ben/docs/sa.html>. Among network administrators, SpamAssassin is widely considered the only working solution against spam. As it is written in Perl, it creates high CPU loads though and is a solution for client PCs rather than for mail servers themselves. On Unix-like operating systems, I would recommend using SpamAssassin in conjunction with procmail, i.e. filter mailing lists through procmail first and only the rest with SpamAssassin, like: :0fw | spamassassin :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes $HOME/Mail/junk -F -- http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~cantsin/homepage/ http://www.complit.fu-berlin.de/institut/lehrpersonal/cramer.html GnuPG/PGP public key ID 3200C7BA, finger cantsin@mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://amsterdam.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
