I put SpamAssassin on top of BoxTrapper. This reduces the load, i.e.
intercepts messages effectively /before/ a request for verification is
sent. Moreover, I only enabled BoxTrappers on two accounts.
As a side note, did you know that half of the global traffic of spam is
estimated to have been sent from compromised Windows boxes? I find that
outrageous.
Best wishes,
Roy
