well a decent e-mail client and a little bit of patience on behalf of the end user, can easily delete,filter spam.
i have many filters, annoying as they are to set up, but at least it does it's job 90-95% of the time. (of course spammers are tricky and that 5-10% always gets through, such is life.) - wensu -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stacy Brown Thellend Sent: Sunday, 16 February 2003 12:25 PM To: Steven_N_Nelson Cc: Joseph Bongaarts; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Coder-Com] Spam On Sat, 15 Feb 2003, Steven_N_Nelson wrote: > Could this not be solved by having any posts off the list need approavl > from the moderator before being allowed through, I do understand this is a > lot of work thrown onto the moderator, but having monitored this list for > as long as I have, the spam to useful messages in this list is absurd. I used to have the list set to approval-required but it really was a lot of work. I now have a lot of spam checks in place, and the majority of spams do not get through. I think I get something like 8-10 bounced spams everyday that don't make it to the list. Everytime a spam gets through, I adjust the filters to make it harder for more to get through.
