On a Raq's unless you are fairly savvy, that will result in a non working
configuration, see other posts about using ordb/orbz/etc , it's The same
in use as any of the RBL's

Upgrading the OS will probably wipe it out, cobaly likes to overwrite the
configuration files that are not otherwise considered user configurable..

A spam list is probably not going to do a thing about virus's except those
rare few times some clueless spammer gets a virus and all his spam victims
are in his address book (had that happen once, was kinda funny how fast
his account got toasted when i matched it with a actual spam and sent it
back to his isp ;P)

Learn procmail, it's the jacknife of email programs, it does all the 'odds
and ends' ;)
