Must be nice. I just cleaned out my spam folder of 281 spams. No false positives, just spam. All since yesterday.
Wow, that's be nice to even have that few :-) I tend to get about a thousand a day. Occasionally I will glance through a handful to see if there are any false positives, and I've never seen one. I'm certainly missing a lot fewer messages with the spam filter than I would be trying to cull through a thousand messages a day looking for the ones I'm supposed to be getting. I have an entire domain, and generally make unique addresses for each party I communicate with. I'm fairly amazed at how many commercial entities end up getting my email signed up for spam. Periodically, I go find the addresses that get the most spam and delete them (possibly resubscribing to lists). Right now, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" seems to be winning. That one I'll just delete. If I have some spare time, I think I could catch a lot of spam just by looking for messages that are addressed to multiple recipients at davidb.org, especially invalid ones. There's only one user here. Plus, I've never had a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not sure where that even came from. David -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
