awc what i've found is that the messages are from tons of different

awc hard.

I agree; except for certain groups, it's mostly a waste of time to add
names  to a blacklist because they're all different. Just add names to
a  whitelist, and do a regular quick skim through the spam messages to
make  sure  that  a  good message didn't slip through. Unless you have
more  than  several  dozen  spams coming in daily, I'd say that that's
probably adequate.

right.  the killsfile filter is not for spam.  however some of the mailing
lists I track have contributors who add noise, rather than useful content.
It is better not to see their notes, so I am not tempted to respond.  It
also makes it easier to find and read through constructive threads.
