Oddly enough, all their spam ended up not in my cooker folder as they
donot address it to cooker....
the TO part is missing...
secondly if you filter on the name of the extractor, while it works,
it also means any discusion about the blasted thing gets zapped...
More interesting, wouldnt it be a good sales argument to have a
mandrake which has a proper and easy antispam system where unwanted
stuff gets zapped straight of the server where it comes from.
Finally, I just wonder if the idiots who made it legal have email
addresses NOT ending in .gov.. Any idea where to find them???
I have an excellent destination for such a mailing list (g)
