Meanwhile, on the spam front

i) For those two MT-using bloggers who have not yet seen Jay Allen's blacklist plugin for Movable Type, here it is. It sounds like a great idea and I'm sure it works quite well.. unfortunately not at all with mod_perl.. The inevitable slowdown of not running MT under mod_perl would probably negate the time saved no longer deleting spam comments, so I'll have to wait on this one.

ii) I got tired of looking through spamassassin-marked-spam. Over the last year or so that I've been using spamassassin only 2 or 3 real e-mails were marked as spam.. and the cause there was over-use-of-html-in-email-syndrome aka "Mom, quit using that crap for e-mail". So.. result?

/^X-Spam-Flag:.YES/ HOLD

In header_checks.. Postfix rocks.

What's that.. you sent me email in HTML and I didn't get it? Gee.. bummer.

Weird.....guess i've been lucky so far. The only thing I've had to do is disable HTML in the post's to really control it.

Although I have been wondering why somebody bother's to post links to spam in entries I wrote like 2 months ago.....
