Danno: can't go that far, but sure understand the sentiment. it's unbelievable. Zaine: yeah, the volume is bad and getting much worse.

I had to turn off all comments for a while. I was getting 3500 spam messages a day, and just deleting them was a time sink. It's really too bad, too. Same here.

FastMail's filters do a good job and Apple Mail catches most things that get by the FM filters. I probably see 2-3 SPAM e-mails a day. I think FM just uses a customized Spam Assassin, seems like Zimbra could do the same.
