Agree. A solution I’m very satisfied with, is using procmail to let a
great number (well, 68 for now) of email addresses/names/domains which
I consider “safe” go directly into my inbox and everything else to a
“possible_spam” folder. Also a lot of worm mail goes directly into a
special trash folder if the subject fits. I used to get 50-60 of those
per day, pine was beeping all the time. After I set up procmail to
do this kind of filtering, I haven’t got one spam/worm mail into my
inbox. It’s almost boring now.
