the very same I did, but then came the many aliases putting all their mail
into the same mail box (simply to differ you gets which e-mail-address w/o
creating to many 'real' account :-))) ).
So some spam end up in aliases folder over here ...

TF> If, however, you are the postmaster of an ISP

Not necessarily an ISP ... I'm postmaster, webmaster, admin-c, tech-c and
so on for several hosts and domains ... w/o us being an ISP :-)

Exactly :-)

What about 'Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle'? Ain't there some
'uncertainty' about if the bold letters indicate 'new legitimate mail' or
spam? *SCNR*

TF> For 'fighting spam' I use SpamCop. ;-)

So I  do ... in addition to first 'quarantining' possible spam for better
diversion between which folder to finish reading and which one to handle
afterwards :-)
