This morning AntiSpam stalled. That is a little unusual and usually due to high traffic. This time it appears to have stalled due to a failure of the availability of the block lists used by the 'Weight' keyword. This may be related to: www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/04/10/messagelabs-gets-blacklisted Commenting out rules using 'Weight' released the stall. Perhaps this demonstrates the weakness of using third party resources to sort ham from spam. However, I would not be without it when it works. -- Dave Keep GMT all year
