Hi Lars: I think you have the better idea.
I also handle a ton of email and have to track the reactions of diverse others. Hence all my emails send return requests by default. Incoming email is filtered with about a dozen rules in Thunderbird and in Outlook, in Win XP and in Fedora 12 and 13. By the time the rules have cleaned up several hundred emails (and I have fetched my morning coffee) there is little or nothing left to parse manually. First it reports the scammers, then deletes them. Next id cleans up the "pesty salesmen" Then it sorts and files all the ones I want to keep, but do not have time to read at the time. Then it Takes any double (or more) forwards that may have resulted and deletes them. Each rule has multiple arguments especially in indentifying scammers and sales pests. In the mean time I could be doing housework or fixing other computers on the network, possibly for some outside client. However I am not familiar with the type of app you would need, as it would have to interact with a large existing database system, and I do not program SQL. Cheers, Bruce M. -----Original Message----- From: Lars Nooden [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: June 16, 2010 9:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [discuss] OT: Return receipts - Was: [discuss] Please make Open Office Speech Recognition Friendly Peter Junge wrote: > would you please be so kind to not request return receipts while sending > to mailing lists.

If we had better mailing list software it would be possible to strip out undesireable payloads like that before the message is sent on to the list membership. mimedefang is one tool of many that can be plugged into modern list management software for that purpose. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
