The first thing in procmail is "if the subject is WWW submission, deliver it somewhere". Then it says filter through spamassassin and go about your business as before, filtering/trashing things as desired. This isn't a dirty hack; it's quite clean. There's no law that says you have to use spamassassin on *all* or *none* of your mail. Use the tools that you have to achieve the effect you desire: filter what you want to filter and be merry =) good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
