Agreed....BUT, it
doesnt matter as if its a mailing list or whatever I subscribe to,
they are already filtered out to their folder before the spam filter hits it.
And in many cases there is an identifiable string somewhere allowing
you to detect specific ones you DO want.
If you make sure you get all wanted mail to where it should be,
irregular or unexpected mail into the inbox and recognised spam into a
spam box or killed off, cleaning up whats left over is a minor task...
There is just no way to filter on spam addresses which may only happen
once. And as said by the time my filters get around to hitting
specifics, most have already been killed...
In one case I had a problem and the sender changed the header so I
could detect it as mail, not spam...
