I've had pretty good luck soaking the ends in Jasco Copper Brown Wood preservative < http://www.jasco-help.com/products/prod_wp.htm#0915-7 > for a few days before setting the posts. I found it a Lowe's locally. Most posts seem to rot worst at ground level and just below. Although it is ecologically a no-no, when back filling I'll put about a quart of old motor oil in the last 6 or 8 inches of backfill of each post. Also, I've always been told to put about 6 inches of crushed stone or gravel in the bottom of the hole before setting the post. That's suppposed to allow the bottom to drain and not have the post end setting in water. Don't know how much good it does but it doesn't hurt.
