Curtis,


	We don't get spam so my answer won't work for you. We have set up our 
RT so that no spam gets in. That way, RT can automatically create (& 
grant 'privileged' to) users that pass authentication and all email 
users get automatically created as 'unprivileged' users. That's what we 
do and it works fine.
