I'll say! Since Marck suggested this to me a few weeks ago, very
little SPAM makes it to my Inbox. I'll bet I've seen only one that
made it into my Inbox since I implemented this filtering method.
It'll take a few tries to make sure you're filtering the _known_ stuff
-- that is meant for you -- though. After that, it /is/ pretty darn
accurate. However, I'd suggest not deleting stuff from the server
before it gets to you unless you have a lot of faith. I just redirect
it into a SPAM folder and check it every so often.
So far, I can usually just check the folder and hit Ctrl+Del ;-)
