The filters I run are ones I wrote, tailored to the spam I get. I have a long procmailsc recipe that catches 419 letters. I do not carry on commerce with anyone in West Africa, so that catches 419s and nothing else. But someone in the oil industry would not be wise to use my filter. But if the vonpaso sends me the letter first, by the time it reaches him it will be in Razor, and he will trash it and not get it mixed in with other petroleum-related mail. If I did not have a recipe for this, it could be several hours before I report it, and the oilman would get it. cmeclax -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9uf1M3/k1hdmG9jMRAmBEAKCeoq3aW7p+Rt2Ko0ZNSY2jDesWqwCglGUi mJ/qLABDp0TCiTixcd6hV2k= =Gaxr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
