    sorry if this is a dumb question, but your email implies spam-assassin
    does DNS look-ups to filter out spam - which is not what I thought after
    giving spam assassin the once-over check-out. Is it so? What level of
    effectiveness does it have?

    And can it actually filter your pop3 server's inbox before download?

    thanks
