> Since none of the big PC makers will even let you order a PC without an OS
Rubbish. My new Precision 450 straight from Dell came with no OS installed. I simply selected "no OS installed" when ordering through their online shop.
Last time I payed M$ tax was in '93 and even for that I'm planning one day to get a refund, or make them pay damages.
I'm on a mailinglist averaging about ten messages/day. Some time ago the list operators set up spamassassin. Judging from some of the posts to the list they realy gave it some effort and most list members are very satisfied with the result.
Two months ago I enabled DSPAM for mail coming through the list to me. This was realy just a matter of telling it to use a shared dictionary which had been trained by another accounts' mail.
I just went and checked the spambox for mail from that list (no need to do that normally and indeed there were no false positives): it had 20 spam mails which SA (+ additional measures taken by the list ops) apparently had missed.
Maybe someone could try the other way around and see what SA catches after DSPAM. Not me though. The recent stories about SA make me want to stay away from it even more than before. It all seems so tedious and complex compared to DSPAM which I haven't had to touch after installation.
Alas, by writing this I wasted more time than DSPAM has saved me by filtering the 20 messages:-)
