That was very useful to know; it does seem that the greylisting has worked pretty well. There are days when I've gotten as little as 10 spams in my spambox, and other days when 150+ come in. Still, thats a reduction which is quite good. I'm more concerned with some of the "real" emails that show up in the spam box lately. I've had some very few mails from humans that have would up there, but a lot of system generated emails, and a lot of different mailing list emails, too. What puzzles me is that I'll get daily system-status (generated by OpenBSD) in my inbox one day and the spam box the next. I think the proper thing to do is to put the domain names of all such emails in the trusted addresses list, but I see that there is a limit there of 512 entries, which I think I can hit before too long. --STeve Andre' Political Science
