No, Zak, it didn't get through. Orly actually implemented that procmail filter for his mailbox. > Heh, if that's what you want, the I think its about time for a PLUG > Censorship Committee, right? No, I don't think it's time for PLUG Censorship Committee. And my vote will always be that we should NOT have one. Ever. I am of the firm belief that most of the time we can police ourselves by pouncing on errant/irritating folk or by each implementing MDA/MTA-level blocks. Of course the list masters (Q-Linux administration, at the moment, as they host our lists) may opt to do blocking at their level if any particular user causes enough hell on their systems to warrant such a move. > But fo course, ppl can just use procmail filters like the one above... > I prefer, however, to filter at the SMTP level ;D Zak, you wouldn't want Orly to implement a filter at the SMTP level. That would block you, and any other spunge.org users, out of MosCom. And Orly usually implements IP-level blocks using IPTables to deal with really PITA spammers (but anyone who cares to read the archives[1] would know that Orly does that, since he's told us about this approach more than once).

TIA to all who responds (and manlilibre ako ng San > Mig sa sinumang maunang sumagot ;) Honest comment: I find it unnerving that you have a knack for consistently sounding irritatingly know-it-all, and sarcastically, at that. What the hell is your problem, Zak? Google for the solution, for crying out loud. It's completely pointless to challenge this very heterogenous group. It's not like the entire free software community uses Exim. Or does system administration.
