It wouldn't work on the first attempt, because it was translating most of the weird characters used to represent Hangul in Latin1 to question marks, but I found Æ worked. OK, this might also filter out mail from Anglo-Saxon scholars and DD enthusiasts who like to sign things with names like Ælfwynd. Actually, this little exercise made me notice all the extra features in KMail 1.3.1. And there's a new version out I haven't even looked at yet (waiting to install it when Mdk 8.2 comes out).

Re: [newbie] Anti-spam measures
not that it would matter in this case, but does anyone know if the FTC still takes emails at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to track spammers? i have been forwarding all the email from a _long_ list of spammers with my address for over a year now. i hope it is doing something. -- Going from DOS to Linux is like trading a glider for an F117. shane http://shentzu.home.mindspring.com/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 Profile at: http://dmoz.org/profiles/shen.html Mandrake Users Club Member http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/club/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Anti-spam measures
Does anyone know a way I can bounce mail? I receive masses of spam from Korea, for reasons that totally baffle me, and I would like a way to send back anything written in Hangul, preferably with a message like This is the spamfix prgram at localhost.localdomain. Your mail was not able to be delivered for the following reasons: 1. The recipient doesn't speak Korean. 2. the recipient does not appreciate unsolicited e-mails.
