Sorry, it was suggested to me that some newer members might have no idea what I am talking about. I wrote the utility below that retrieves one or more files via the web, appends it to a local file, and writes it out to another file. This allows the use of local blacklists added to regularly updated public blacklists. It is free for anyone who wishes to use it.

The file (once installed) is called KillListGen.exe. When run, it looks for a configuration file called KillListGen.txt in the same directory as the executable. The KillListGen.txt is pretty well self-documenting, a sample file is below. Any questions, please ask.

Sample KillListGen.txt file:

' Configuration file for Kill List Generator - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

' URLs to retrieve lists of current spam addresses/domains
ListURL=http://www.imagefxonline.net/apps/delog/fromfile.txt
ListURL=http://www.anotherfile.com/whatever.txt

' Source file of local addresses you wish to keep on the list permanently.
' Comment out if no local address list is used.
SourceFile=c:\IMail\Declude\Source.txt

' Destination file that IMail reads which will be combined Source file and retrieved lists
DestFile=c:\IMail\Declude\Destination.txt


For those using my KillListGen utility automatically download Tom's spam list and append it to their own, I have posted an updated version here:

http://www.nerosoft.com/Download/KillListGenInst.exe

This version is identical to the previous version, with one exception: It will accept multiple "ListURL" parameters in the KillListGen.txt config file. When it sees more than one, it will download and append all of them in turn:

' URLs to retrieve lists of current spam addresses/domains
ListURL=http://www.imagefxonline.net/apps/delog/fromfile.txt
ListURL=http://www.anotherfile.com/whatever.txt

This allows using other lists in addition to Tom's.
