Procmail, or if you run sendmail there's the access.db on your desktop.
Or complain to your mail admin and have them block quickinspirations. They
are 100% scum.

Nope. Spam is something you haven't subscribed to in the first place. I see
no reason to unsubscribe from a list I never subscribed to... unsubscribing
the spammer from the 'net is far easier.

It is. If you haven't subscribed to it in the first place.
Quickinspirations has a tendency to ignore 5xx errors and keep pounding at
the same, nonexistent / long dead / spamtrap addresses it hits all the time.
So, we hit upon a slightly better fix for this problem. This is an entry
from our firewall ... [you'd have to run your own mailserver, or have your
isp do this for you]
# quickinspirations
${fwcmd} add deny tcp from 64.37.73.0/24 to ${ip}
That's in freebsd ipfw format. Should be fairly simple to translate to
whatever you use - router nullroutes, iptables, ipchains ...
And throw quickinspirations.com in your access.db just to make sure.
For the ISPs / mailserver admins here -
* try a mix of dnsbls - such as the list at
http://spamblock.outblaze.com/spamchk.html
* supplement it with a largish access.db of spammers
* watch your logs and enjoy the peace of mind as people don't complain to you
any longer about being spammed to hell and back again. [well, they will
complain - but the number of complaints will be a bit less, shall we say]

LOST #068 -**< Sub : Changing 80x25 on console >**-
To change console from default 80x25, experiment with various
settings in /etc/TextConfig. You need to have "svgatextmode"
package installed fo that. It will work on console only ... It
will not work under X (i.e. xterm or rxvt).
Try: SVGATextMode 80x30x9
