(granted, for about 5 > minutes, but better Now, for spam-spam (different than your Aunt's spam ;-)), I use spamassassin and I've had good results. I have had luck in talking with a few people that liked to send me HTML email, and I managed to get them to stop (as in, "you don't do it, you won't hear from me again"). But to make this semi-OT: For the ddddddd's <g>, I use this, which someone else on the list suggested a few months ago: folder-hook spam push 'D.\n' That way, I just skim over the messages and leave the mbox when I'm satisfied. If it catches a friend, newletter, etc, I just add the sender's address to a file called known.list and use this rule: # known sender's list :0: * ? (formail -x From: | fgrep -iqf $PMDIR/known.list) $MAILDIR/inbox (By the way, is there a better way to do the above?) -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
