(nod) Exactly. And that is what is needed to do a masscheck...

(smile) I've got my own custom rule file format (plus a script to convert 
to standard SA rules format). This reduces the effort to add a new rule 
pretty much down to a cut-n-paste operation. Must admit there are some 
days when I do feel a bit burned out, but generally I am gratified to see 
my new rules trigger on the remainder of a spam flood.... :)

As for trust, I never need to see the ham, just the spam, which has no 
privacy issues (smile).
