Unfortunately Herbert is, as far as I know, the only one with administrative rights to this machine and he is quite busy today. For the time being I've tried to tighten the spam policies a bit more at the expense of perhaps rejecting legitimate traffic. Cheers, - Ben

Alright, I have configured spambayes and it seems to be doing its job admirably. Now to try and undo the damage done up until this point. Cheers, - Ben
