Well, whilst I appreciate we can filter at our end with procmail or

windows box), my point is that I can't see any reason for "paypal"
or "ebay" coming up at all in message headers or bodies on a debian
linux discussion group, and so why not ditch the lot at source? I
also concede that it's not my place to say what is and isn't
filtered, and I got more or less the response I expected.
Stop acting like a doofus.
The general outlook of the open source software movement is that the
enduser makes the decision about what they want to see, and what they
don't.
If *you* don't want to receive something, *you* filter it out.
Debian has the software to facilitate this.
Apparently some on this list adhere to a rationale that they wish to
continue to receive mail that includes the criterion.
They have a right to do so.
What you see as spam, they do not.
They have the right to self determination, as you do.
By all means, exercise this on your own behalf, but please don't
presume to set standards for others to adhere to.
It's embarrassing to watch.
Oh dear, more personal attacks in a discussion group. I'm pressed to
think of a more insidious form of unsolicited mail than that sent only
in an effort to leech the online financial account details of the
unsuspecting.
This is not what you specified.
You specified filtering anything with reference to paypal/ebay.
