I am getting fed up with spam. I am currently just using the filter that comes with my e-mail client, thunderbird. It does a very good job, except I have to download all the messages before I can filter them. I'm tired of waiting several minutes to download 300 to 500 messages of which 10% are actual messages to me plus 40% or so list messages leaving 50% junk. Never mind what it's like if I take a day or two break from my computer for whatever reason.
Previous to this, I had my ISP's spam filter on. It was nice in that I then did not have to download the spam. It was placed in a junk folder on the server. But I had to use the web interface if I ever needed to look in this folder for false positives and there where several of these a week. And it was a real pain to page through all the junk, 50 messages at a time, trying to find a message I knew had been sent but I had not received. So, other then recruiting some of the more violent members of this list to form a vigilantly party and hunt down spammers to hang them from 25 foot flagpoles by their private parts, what might I do that does not require me to go get some kind of systems certification? [Oh my, that was one sentence! Please don't let my high school English teacher see it.] Thanks for tolerating my spam venting. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
