Can we set up a filter on this List?
So that all mails from Guru are re-directed to /dev/null ?

Why don't two of you use inbuilt filters in your mail client/webmail.
IMO, that's better for each one to do it on their own.
Hi Mehul,
I strongly agree with you; when only one person has issue, that person
should
set up mail filters.
But, I would like to draw your attention to following:
- Total number of people on plug list: 1000 (just giving an example. I
suppose it more than that)
- Size of e-mail sent = 5 KB (4.8 KB to be precise)
- Effect data transferred = 5 KB * 1000 = 5000 KB = ~5 MB
- Cost per MB = 1 Re. (GPRS = 2 paise/KB)
Who is bearing this cost?
I don't mind receiving huge number of unwanted e-mail if someone is
providing me free bandwidth.
Also, for filtering one e-mail, 'n' CPU cycles are required. (Think
about utility computing. You pay for
CPU cycles you use).
For 1000 filters, 1000*n CPU cycles are required.
We can think similarly on following points:
- Electricity
- (Hu)man hours
- Cost for storing archive
- ....
I am just trying to figure out few reasons. Feel free to share your
perspective with all.
HTH.
regards,
shantanoo
