Seeing Hans officially changed this thread to off-topic I'll jump in and say I also use bogofilter with the same positive results... once trained (took a month I guess) I now get ~zero spam in my Inbox, ~2 per day in my unsure folder and 20 to 30 spams in my Trash, which automatically get purged after 3 days. It works so well I'd like to write a song about it ! :-) Hmm, an edgy zztop'd "Spam Boogie"... oh sheesh, maybe I should sign off this list for awhile! BTW this is an excellent indie blues orientated podcast... http://feeds.feedburner.com/roadhouse (the RSS feed link) --markc
