[TriLUG] Another seal broken... thinking of installing a C/R anti-spam system

[Cristóbal Palmer]

I'll second that.

SA is awesome--with tweaking. Even so, if you have a published address
that gets a lot of mail and is an initial point of contact, eg.
sales at foobar.com, you're still going to get a significant amount of
spam unless you're willing to live with false positives and/or spend a
lot of time tweaking. I'm itching to try greylisting, too.

Thanks,
CMP
