Charset-based or language-based filtering seems more reasonable option to me (although automatic language recognition requires some computational power). Most people eg. in Europe can safely filter out all emails in Asian charsets (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.), as they usually can't read these languages and every email in these charsets that arrives can safely be considered spam (I got quite a lot of them in the past). For institutions or organizations that are obviously local-based (like a school) it can make sense to filter out emails that are not in local language, because there is hardly a reason anybody who does not speak the local language would want to contact a school. Whether a parent of a child who attends, or has attended, or will attend that school, or someone who has him/herself attended that school in the past, or some local authority, business or journalist - all of them will (or at least should) speak the language. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
