Since I admin several dozen machines that have an email address of
admin/webmaster/etc at servername.foo that all point to my admin account, I
was getting slammed with garbage.

&gt; 
&gt; After watching spamassassin slowly die (even with updates and custom
&gt; tweaks), I gave up and decided to install a new anti-spam engine.
&gt; 
&gt; DSPAM kicks butt!! I preloaded it with a corpus of about 1200 non-spams
&gt; (archived ALE emails and personals) and about 80 spam emails (which only
&gt; took about 3 hours to collect once I turned off spamassassin). 
&gt; 
&gt; My spam load is still 2/3 of my email volume. But DSPAM is quarantining the
&gt; spams. I have had only 3 spams get through and 4 mis-labeled as spam that
&gt; were not out of nearly 300 emails over the last 24 hours. Given that the
&gt; training is still happening, I'm very impressed. My wife's stats on the spam
&gt; are even better (1300+ messages, 3 incorrectly labeled as spam, 4 spams
&gt; delivered).
&gt; 
&gt; As discussions earlier were about spam solutions that were a bit less
&gt; extreme than mutilation and murder, I wanted to pass along a solution that
&gt; seems to fit the earlier criteria.
&gt; 
&gt; Oh, yeah. It's easy to use for non-geeks. If a spam gets through, forward it
&gt; to spam-username at doamin. Check a web page occasionally to look for
&gt; false-positives and mark those as not spam and it reprocesses them and sends
&gt; them on. The speed could be improved by using mysql instead of bdb. But my
&gt; needs here are only for 4 users.
