RE: [vps-mail] Suggestions for spam on VPS2

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter and all,
Thanks for the responses. I'm encouraged to think there's hope <g>. I am
using SA 2.61 but haven't been able to do the Bayes filtering. Can the RBL
be set on individual POP3 boxes or is that only a server-wide solution? If
it can be individualized, can you give me step by step instructions to get
it going? Or point me toward such directions?

I don't want to filter everyone's email server-wide but many clients would
be delighted to have it turned on for their email.

Thanks,

Jim Smith
