the moment you publish anything on the web in a non-anonymous way - this becomes useless.
i had a hoard of image spams here in the last few month, and about 3 weeks ago most of them were gone. i think someone in my ISP changed their anti-spam software or setup. i think that you have to give up some of the paranoya (i'm going to block the e-mail that'll change my life!) in order to get good filtering. and if you have existing (not potential) clients, they'll most likely call you if you don't answer their e-mail. prepare your arsenal of apologies for such situations. tell them that you're doing this aggresive filtering because you want to make sure you have enough time to give them the service they expect. maybe even give them a secret address to use, on which you don't apply spam filters - tell them you're moving them to the inner circle. --guy On Mon, 2006-11-27 at 13:17 +1100, Amos Shapira wrote: > On 27/11/06, Ira Abramov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Quoting Oded Arbel, from the post of Sun, 26 Nov: > > I'm using bogofilter as the last line of defense.
