In other words it is time for you to hire more help? Setting SpamAssassin to block rather than mark is a pretty simple change; setting the list server to not strip Recieved lines is also a simple change. This has passed the point of merely being a minor problem. Though getting $3K pieces of hardware to test on is good, avoiding losing $3K due to all your mail being blackholed is more important. Okay, getting a $100K piece of hardware out of Intel might be a higher priority, but you're getting into the danger zone where this will turn into real money being lost. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \ ( | EHeM@cs.pdx.edu PGP 8881EF59 | ) / \_ \ | _____ -O #include O- _____ | / _/ \___\_|_/82 04 A1 3C C7 B1 37 2A*E3 6E 84 DA 97 4C 40 E6\_|_/___/
