Seconded. I get about two spam messages a week that get through to the inbox, and the rest picked off by SpamAssassin with a good spamfolder to assist it with Bayesian filtering (I don't delete spam, I move it all to the spam folder if I see it in my inbox). Actually, you know what I'd like? Absolutely no protection for my address at all. I don't want it hidden or obfuscated and I especially don't want hidden restrictions about who I can and can't send e-mail to/receive e-mail from dictated solely by the mail server (i.e. can't receive mail from or send to my uncle using AOL... not using @FreeBSD.org as my address...) -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> green@FreeBSD.org \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\help
