Spam Assassin - does it do email validation?
Hi All

We are considering several spam solutions:

Spam Arrest
SpamAssassin

With Spam Arrest, the sender has to respond to email verification. Once the sender validates, then their email address is added to a good-guy list and any further email sent to the address is forwarded to the original email recipient. Thus, the sender's email address has been given the green light.

With Spam Assassin, it looks like there are rules that are applied to scan the incoming mail. Mail that does not pass the rules fails and is filtered out.

What I was wondering is if SpamAssassin can also be setup to do the email validation thing, too. I didn't see it on the SpamAssassin site, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done.

Thanks very much Smile
