[ale] Spam and fetchmail

[James P. Kinney III]

So you get your email from youe ISP with fetchmail, then spamassassin
cleans it up and then you can access it locally?

I've been working on getting that same process, with one additional
step, and it just isn't happening. The additional step is to filter the
email through f-prot virus scanner. The receiving clients all use
windbloze outbreak express as mail clients. Between the spam and the
bugs, it's amazing they can get anything done. 

Well, the nt4 server they do file sharing on that has no antivirus
software doesn't help.
