	Thanks to everybody.  The one website that showed howto install
	spamassassim and-or these blacklist sites (with sendmail) seemed
	to suggest not to use too many sites.  I dropped in two sites
	and noticed the misc spam  fall off just since noon, Seattle time.  

	I just installed the new dspam (2.10.6) and got the mysql link
	going.  When I have this working too I'll write up a cheat-sheet
	tutorial and put it up at bsd.thought.org.  

	gary

	PS: Warren, while I was poking around this morning I found 
	    spamhaus's list.  These guys get 5 gold stars... .
