Jem, I've not thought about dropping the spam assassin score. The spam reduced back to just a few after Friday, so not sure what happened on that day. I may block a few domains such as mail.com and see what else is in the mailwasher logs. Cheers for reminding me :) Will, it's this stuff that comes in a tin and James May off Top Gear seems to like it (never had it myself!).

I set mine pretty tight (3) and since then my spam has been almost zilch. I also have *@mail.com blacklisted. Don't know if that helps you at all but its worth a shot :) What score have you set Spam Assassin to? I set mine pretty tight (3) and since then my spam has been almost zilch.
