Recognizing this is not an SA question... but the Spam Experts are here, so I hope someone can offer some insight. My aunt uses Earthlink. Earlier this month, she found 4,000 old emails in her inbox. Since then, she can log in, see she has new mail, but then it disappears. Further, some of her fri

I like just having users set their filters based on X-SPAM_LEVEL. The filter says if this header has this many stars, move the mail here. If it has that many stars, move it there. This is an extremely simple way for users to set their own level (or multiple levels). Harold > I just wanted to thr
