Gmail kills a lot of spam I guess you noticed. Another good webmail service that does this is gmx.com. I see you're using mutt with spamassassin. That is good but very ponderous and slow compared to bsfilter. You have my compliments for figuring out mutt. I use the Debian package 'bsfilter' with a plugin for claws-mail called bogofilter. That works very satisfactorily on all accounts on that client. I used to use spamassassin, but it too was like mutt. In fact spamassassin is still on my computer, but deactivated. Hey, why don't you write an understandable HOWTO for mutt? It can be your life's work. -- CK _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
