Spam Issues
Is there a limit to the number of domain/address you can input into the Spam/Filters section. The list I downloaded from one of the spam blacklists has about 6000 domains on it... Second question. Now alot of spam comes with [SPAM] in the subject line. Is there a way to block all mails containing [SPAM]? From the looks, the spam filter only does domains...
If I put *[SPAM]* will they be blocked??
Thanks,

</not a clue>

Can set the limits on SPAM/Filters/Addresses etc etc... from here.

There's no limit, *but* adding 6000 domains to it could slow things down quite a bit as it would have to check each incoming mail against each one.

With the [SPAM] emails, it sounds like your mail server has SpamAssassin installed. One way to filter out these emails is at the mail server level (use something like procmail, etc). The other way would require a custom change to incoming.pl - you would read the headers, and check for the occurance of the X-Spam-Status: Yes header.
