7 No solution you have is going to be perfect I suspect. Really it does come
8 down to individual requirements, because everyone is different. It is much
9 easier to offer a full filter service to clients, then If they want it turn
10 it on - just like many ISPs do - they can. So 'training' is minimised to
11 maybee a simple FAQ and users can take care of the rest. Course this is not
12 useful if your site is getting hammered by spam :(

14 Otherwise, for example with spamassasin, each client can set up their own
15 account with some effective filters for their own type of email. I'm using
16 kmail with my own account and that has a very useful wizard that creates a
17 seperate folder for spam, learns and dumps any that I manually mark as spam,
18 and moves it all to that folser, where I can easily review it.
19
20 Also I use another module called mail-filter/dcc that seems to help greatly.
