Well I take that back. I subscribed to a mailing list for about a week that was heavily battered by spam and so I got that. The irony is that the mailinglist beloned to a google group run by google themselves. I simply quit that list. No more spam. How many false positives are occurring? How much legitimate mail am I missing? I have no idea. My GMail address is all over the place. I use it indiscriminately, but it seems not to generate a lot of spam. Maybe the spammers realize GMail addresses are a waste of time. How about the rest of you? BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
