[pmmail-list] help with 0spam

[Dean Boulding]

Marty, I'm wondering if you're already running POPFile?  I am, and it 
requires 127.0.0.1 as the POP3 address, but then in the user account 
section prepends the server and a colon to your email account name.

I use POPFile for spam filtering, and it does a great job on the 80 - 90% 
of my mail which is spam these days.  Obviously, you don't need both 
POPFile and 0spam, so if you are running POPFile and want to switch to 
0spam, I or others here could certainly help you change the settings.  
Right now, however, I don't know why your system is set up the way it is.  
I personally am reluctant to use whitelist filtering at the moment, FWIW, 
but it may be the only way to go in the future.

Cheers,

Dean

|The IP 127.0.0.1 is a non-routable internal address that refers to your

|'mail.home.net'.
