With the ever changing face of spam, this would probably be a big benefit to SA users and help keep everyone up to date. We have not done this with too many of the apps we sell on www.RoseCitySoftware.com strictly because of joe-average-user concerns about spyware and "phoning home", but in cases where the app needs to access the internet anyhow, we have done it with great success and minimal concern by our users. ---- Joseph Burke President/CEO InfiniSource, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- In remembrance www.osdn.com/911/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list Spamassassin-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
