Sounds worth a try. I have Panda alerting me to SPAMs coming in, and I can just knock those out by a few key terms. I know plenty will still get through, but I'm at a greater risk losing the one important mail coming through by using somebody else's filter. I figure nobody who needs to get me a head shot or DP reel is gonna have anything in their sub line that I would flag, like the obvious ones. This morning, I had 11 mails with Viagra in the sub line. Another bunch with Need software?. Had I been able to whack those 20 or so without even seeing them, that'd be a nice bonus.
