Wo! You can even do it based off the headers? OK, I need to like, seriously! go look more at the filterring settings then. That is something I admittedly didn't know. If that's the case, then that is really really cool!

I just wish that I O S had filterring capability without you having to do it on the server side. Oh well though. You can't have everything. Smile.

yep. I use apple mail here and it has a very large selection of filters I can use. I can even filter based on any of the hidden header information (those pesky X-lines). It has allowed me to dump more spam than even gmail could (and do it properly).

This is what I was suggesting but several folks got their panties in a bunch and feel that filtering is unacceptable. They’d rather be spoon fed I suppose than work their own silverware.

Good point though

may I offer a suggestion? there are mail filters that can be applied from the end user. Most mail clients can actually do this based on a number of criteria. So, if someone uses a foul tongue and makes threats, just filter their mail into the trash based on that offenders email address, or based on a list of words that are offensive. THe offender will realize with alacrity that his messages are being ignore and will go elsewhere.

Just a thought.

Of course, as always, it helps to remember that if nobody replied to the abuser, we wouldn’t have these issues. But it also helps to know that a moderator can do this quickly in response to a general consensus or clear harm being done, and that, for better or worse, people will respond angrily to threads and contribute to their derailment. I see no reason why anybody’s freedoms should be impacted by such moderation, only the benefits that come from a more efficient filter on the list mail than would be achievable otherwise by individual members, especially when the only tools available to them are on their devices.

So, as I said previously, I regard this as a matter of administration, not ethics. Having a moderator around is simply important for damage control—nothing more.
