I have been pretty successful filtering spam. I block the known
spammers, i.e., cyberpromo et.al. Then the final block is if it
is not addressed to my e-addresses. It's spam. I set up a
separate mail box for spam, and look at the subject lines, then I
kill them. It works.
Somebody said they can filter out all caps which is another
filter. With Eudora I can't do that.
