Cav Trooper Safari
One of my ol' army cav buddies, Randy, sent me this Washinton Post Story about a Cav unit that went hunting for gazelle on one of Sadam's palaces. You gotta love the Cav!
Randy and I were both assigned to A Troop, 5/17 Cav located at Camp Pelham, Korea from 1993-1994. "Out Front, Sir"

PopFile to the Rescue
I been using popfile for a couple of months with good results. How about 97.4 % accuracy rate to identify SPAM?
Setup of Popfile is pretty straight forward. The web site has instructions for a few of the more popular email clients. Very slick product.
Did I mentioned it will cost you $0 to use?

Case for RMX
I read a really nice article by Mike Rubel supporting the use of RMX records to help prevent the spoofing of the FROM: header.
This document supports and encourages the adoption of Hadmut Danisch's RMX resource records for DNS. RMX records are intended to make email forgery difficult by providing a mechanism for a domain owner to list all mail servers authorized to send email on behalf of his or her domain name. They eliminate the most serious drawback of SMTP--the meaningless From: header--without breaking any core internet protocols.
The RFC is a little dry to read so stick with Mike's article.
