Default A Suggestion

Hi,
This is just suggestion, and I apologise if I am off base here.

My previous ISP provided spam filtering that is user-configurable on a per mailbox basis.

When I first came to EUKhost, I asked about this because I assumed that this was a standard feature, but I was told that I would have to figure something out for myself.

In trying to do this, I discovered the spec for Exim filters. These are supposed to work as fine-tuning and in addition to Spam Assassin.

www. exim.org

While I haven't completely sorted out using Exim yet, I have written a PHP program that allows me to test my filtering on a per mailbox basis. It seems to be working, and I may just make this into a CRON job. I am also using EUKhost's standard Spam Assassin configuration, but I still have to filter nearly 100 messages a day.

Spam Assassin is excellent, but it doesn't deal with the problems that arise if you give one of your employees a mailbox, and then they do stupid things like Internet Gambling and Lifestyle quizzes.

My apologies once again if this is off topic and just noise.
