And also as far as I'm aware, if they were NOT running SA, you'd likely see upwards of a hundred spam messages a day getting through. Note that no A/S technology has a 100% catch rate, and as the volume of spam goes up, the volume of false negatives must also go up and hence you're seeing more spam. Its just the current round in the never-ending war against spam. Regards, Gary
