You will never guess what started this whole Rule Emporium thing for me. I didn't want to post my silly simple little rules to the list for the very reason you suggested. To which I was verbally abused by a few people on the list. I posted, people fixed them, it stopped more spam then just mine. Sickness grew from there. THe idea is that you WILL stop more spam in total if you share them. We KNOW we have spammers watching this list. We are dealing with it. Things have been put in place to make this even better. Spammers will watch this list. What they don't know is, we are watching them watch this list even closer ;) Closing in on which group(s) of spammers they are. Tweaking rules to be tilted towards them. Matching them to other anti-spam lists. Closing the noose, and laying flaming dog poop on their doorstep! Ok, maybe not the noose ;) "I think you hear me knocking, and I think I'm coming in!" - Dennis Leary Sorry, I got a little excited! Share your rules!
