1) I did these as you suggested - thanks.  I restarted mailscanner and I am still getting TONS of SPAM.  As I read more of the
files, I noticed that the Blacklist rules that I can create will search FROM/TO/VIRUS.  Does MailScanner allow you to define rules
with the content having a certain string or is this what SpamAssassin does better?  If so, why use both when SpamAssassin will do
it all (if it does)?

2) Any examples of rulesets that you use?
