Anyone checked out Simon Goodwin's SpamFryer? Its written in Rexx. Perhaps it can (easily?) be converted to run on the QL version of that language. I was going to see if I could understand enough of it to convert it to SBasic, but got overwhelmed by local events and had to shelve any QL-related plans for now. From the reviews, it seems to do a great job - and we all know Simon's reputation. Basically it works on the headers and only downloads messages that meet your Allow/Deny criteria. The rules are not difficult to understand and are kept in plain text files. Most of the rules youll ever need are already included in the package.
