I've been trying to figure out how to enhance my spam blocking beyond the standard configuration. At one point I was able to add words and phrases to a list of filters, but can't figure out how I did it anymore. Can anyone provide advice to a non-sophisticated user about how to go about this...

I'm just curious as to what extent SmarterMail and SpamAssassin work together? So far SA seems to be doing its job.

Kept our settings the same afterr the upgrade and turned on both SpamAssassin and GreyListing. We host 27...

I have been following the threads about SPAM for a couple of years now and could never find a really good (inexpensive) solution.
