hi ya
best way to fight spam..
- get an MTA that you can control ...
( get a domain name ... $9.00/yr
( get a server ( your pc using fetchmail/mutt even ) )
( using fetchmail is too late to stop spam ..
- you are already confirmed and added to toher spam lists
if the spam is received by uyour isp or your mta/pop servers
- since you are doing the fetchmail method, you will need filters

- stop spam at the router/firewall
- block by country tld if you dont need those incoming
mail from *.foo domains
- stop spam at the mta ( sendmail, exim, postfix, etc )
- i want the spam to bounce back to the spammer and
clutter their logs w/ bounced messages and their own spam
- stop spam at the pop server
- stop spam at user level

- stop spam and virii and fun stuff...
( good time killers - but ya learn a lot )
more itty-bitty antispam fun
