more white/black list ?s

[Shawn]

I just tag emails and deliver.  Obviously I could use just user specific
lists but adding a global rule would mean editing a lot of user files.
Is there an easier way?  I think my proposed way of using MS for per
user and SA for globals will work I just like things to be all in the
same place.

Also know that some users can not use the opt out feature successfully
for newsletters and such - they want to black list the newsletter. While
others want the same letter to show up without being tagged as spam.

I guess it depends on what options you want to use when you find spam.
Personally I think the simplest is to score it all, tag it at 2 levels
(striphtml on the higher one) and then give the user tools to deal with
it as they want.

I guess if you want to look at bouncing or deleteing or stuff like that
then you may need to break things up...

Cheers,
