though this doesnt help those of you with remote webmails, as originally
posted ..

for those that get those insidious junk on "your mail server" and
havent played/tweeked spamassassin/et.al ... and that it gets thru
your list of rbl's you're using

add or tweek your /etc/mail/access with these sven sources
	http://www.Linux-Sec.net/MSJunk

here's the ip# of the rest of the sven sources that i've gotten once
and add to my list ( i do it the hard way ...once an hour manually,
adding a couple new sven per hour ... bouncing the rest back to the sender

notice where the junk comes from ... :-)
	use "access.ms.pl" to see where its coming from ..

	and the time i get um seems to correspond to times when
	people get up in the morning and to work and to the
	times after dinner ... from that part of the world

- i was curious ...
