I will adhere to your suggestion when the figure goes from 95% to 100%.
Can spamassassin be used with free webmail accounts such as gmail, yahoo
email? I dont think so unless you POP them up. POP has its own problems and
I dont want to go in there.
You can choose to ignore the challenges issued by blue bottle. Since you are
familiar with spamassassin you can filter them as well :-) It is your
prerogative as to whether to answer the challenge, ignore it or send it to
spam folder. I dont need a personal reply. I am happy as long as I see the
replies on mailing list. It is as simple as that.
