What do you use? Bayesian filter? 

Also, from your mail it's not clear: is spam discarded? I'd advice
*strongly* against it - false positives do happen. Always, sooner or
later.

Huh!? Ok, forget it.


For those who can easily install software on the computer receiving
their mail: use procmail and spamassassin and bogofilter (both are free
Software).

My setup:

 - mail comes in
 - mail goes through bogofilter
 - mail goes through spamassassin
     a spamassassin rule gives a score if bogofilter said it's spam.
 - mail goes through bogofilter in learning mode
     trains bogofilter according to the opinion of spamassassin
 - mail goes through procmail filtering, sorting mail into folders.

spamassassin 2.5 will make bogofilter obsolete, I hope.

cheers
