Hi Ray I think what you are hearing is frustration with spam in general.
I work in an industry that requires receiving and sending a lot of e-mail to a large volume of new potential and current technical who are all real one time users. [No mass emailing used by us.] The results is that if I use the corporate e-mail account to do corporate business I receive 200 to 500 e mails per day 99.9% of which have nothing to do with me and 80+% are pure 100% spam. Consequently I use a private e-mail account to do business. I am able to filter out most spam with my current filters used in kmail but I have found two slight drawback. I can send spam to trash but I can not send it to delete. The second is one needs wild characters in the spam filters and skip filters. For a skip filter I have in mind filtering out viraga but the spammers use v!raga or v!iriga et. By the way thanks for your explanations. They help.
