News from the cesspoll

[Julian Field]

Would people like me to add the Black and Grey lists to the  
spam.assassin.prefs.conf file I ship with MailScanner?

My easy-to-install ClamAV+SpamAssassin package enables the URIBL  
plugin for you during the installation, so most people will have the  
necessary stuff done in v310.pre already.

The scores I use (very successfully) are
Black: 3.0
Grey: 0.25

Your thoughts please folks!

Jules.
