You'd think it might be the term "screw-up", and maybe it was in this case, but I've had it happen on things where I couldn't find anything in the message that even seemed remotely objectionable. > > So far, the JMF has left me very pleased with its effectiveness, although I > can't know if my spam is of the same type as anyone else's.

JMF is proving to be pretty good, although I still lose a good bit of real mail on the high setting (the more I add trusted domains the better it gets, but it's still amazingly spotty at times). Even so, I'd hate to do without it. The key is having broadband. If the connection's fast enough, it's no big deal to download the spam and dispose of it here. On dial-up this would not be a viable solution.
