Are they getting marked as spam because they are on dynamic ip's or are
they 
getting marked as spam because they look spammy?
One is easy to fix, but the other will start getting your server on
blacklists.

I am not too concerned about what the content is on the email, its just
that the popip.db holds valid ips that have been successfully logged in
via pop. Emails from ips listed within the db shouldn't need to be
scanned. Its just if there is a simple way of including this list then
it would make life easier.


MailScanner is like deodorant...
You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
