which is why I use the following procmail rules given to me at some
point by another list member and slightly modified. I decided to put
them in after the last round of newbie whining about us being too
tough on them ;-) Turns out I don't see any of these virus things.

/dev/null
which sent to Mr. Null the following, apparently from an Upchuck user
that decided to point out the obvious (which I've gleaned from reply
to his mail, pity a procmail rule to filter out replies to trashed
mail isn't so easy--maybe extract the message-id, keep it in a file
and.. hmmm).

Anyway, those rules are nicely filtering out all the cruft. :) Sorry
to those folks that have to use them at work (never find me taking a
job like that). Those that use them by choice, well, get a real MUA.
The SNR is just too high!
Hopefully Dan can rid the list of the morons--before uic's 'net
connection gets (more) saturated :)

Yep.
