I have never understood the spam problem for end receivers. There is enough information in headers to see when something is *not* spam - Return-Path is an example. Spammers do not forge that header in my experience. Tell friends to put your name or some other key on the 'To' line: spammers collect only email addresses, nothing else that can be on the 'To'line. This list has [Elecraft] in the subject: white list this. All of my incoming email is effectively filtered by a white-list method with standard filters in free software. This doesn't stop the spam from arriving, but it's very satisfying watching it drop into the default spam box and all the real email lighting up the filtered boxes. Ian Stirling, K2 #4962 ..
