Actually they're NOT all the same. :) Several months ago I read the following article -- it's one of the best comprehensive analysis I've seen on the subject; <http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/964/> To follow-up to my OP, I got rid of SA - My server is only 200MHZ PentiumPro, so I found SA too expensive. I also got rid of Exim3, installed Exim4, and am now running spamprobe. It's quick, and for my needs, I think it will suffice. Thanks for all dialogue. Been interesting. -- Steve +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wednesday Mar 10 2004 04:36:01 AM EST +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ < jaybonci> actually d-i stands for "divine intervention" ;) -- in #debian-devel
