BTW, these tools don't help much anyway - it was fashionable in the last
months to use these tools and some spammers noticed that (hey, they get
replies!). Some do autoreplies on "please confirm", some others choose
forged sender adresses for one-time spam mailings. At the moment it seems
there is only one good barrier, and spam assasin is even easier to install.
