I would suggest installing mailfilter, for a start. With it you can
remove the MS junk at the pop server and never download it. That
would reduce the majority of the spam.
see the archives an how this is done. Its fast, and easy.
As an example here is what mailfilter did to spam in the last 4 hours.
Mail on Server downloaded
8 AM 235 135
9 AM 33 18
10 AM 49 36
11 AM 39 28
My filters did pick up 11 spam messages from what was downloaded.
Of those spamassassin and other procmail filters caught all but 1
and sa-learn ahould take care og that one in the future.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
