Does your MUA have some concept of folders? What I do is have all of my "detected" spam get sorted into a special spam folder; while I happen to check it routinely, nothing forces me to look at it more than, say, once a week to look for false positives. This is probably just as easy and somewhat safer than automatically deleting "detected" spam. > - my "spam" rules/definition ... > > Deny access from all open relays > use Global RBLs and localized RBLs To reiterate what previous messages have said about RBLs: you're basically depending on someone else's arbitrary decision on what's okay for a mail server -- or a network administrator -- to do. MIT has an ongoing problem with RBLs, for example, since it has made a conscious decision to do something correct for its environment which disagrees with the RBL maintainers' religion. > Reject all emails with "spam content" - not easy to do There are a couple of projects that try to do this. I use ifile (http://nongnu.org/ifile/), which does content-based filtering, and I'm pretty happy with it. (Actually, I use Jeremy Brown's Gnus integration, but that's nitpicking.) Doing something content-based definitely depends on the ability to smack the filter for misclassifying something, though. Apparently bogofilter tries to do something very similar. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
