Sheesh, Mike. Discard is an ordinary English word which I used in its ordinary English sense. I suppose there might be people who say "Attention! I have thrown a used coffee cup into the wastebasket!" each time they do so, but I hope I don't know any of them. > Ooh, "we're sending you this useless notification instead of what might > have been spam".

If by fighting spam, you mean not sending mail which is certain to be useless and unwanted, I guess I plead guilty. If we can turn our minds back a decade or so, you may recall that some spam filters replaced a suspect message with an announcement saying "so and so sent you spam, which we caught, and we're sending you this message instead." We all got a zillion of them. Did you ever do anything with any of those messages other than delete them? I certainly didn't. If you don't trust a filtering technique to work, don't use it. But for heaven sakes, don't excuse broken spam filters by sending more spam.
