Good point. I wonder how I would do that through exchange so that everyone
can
see the folder without me having to setup one on each computer individually.
Perhaps
it won't be all that necessary to go there though. If this works reasonably
well,
users will see very little spam and then I can tweak spamassassin on an
individual basis.
