My own spam warfare software, "SpamJammer", which I will be releasing the code to soon, will clear the whitelist count for an address any time a spam comes from that address.  So if address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is almost whitelisted (three successful messages) with two successful messages, but s

What about a blacklist? Or am I forgetting that there already is one? The From addresses are usually faked, but I'm sure I see some names that repeat, such as "Jack Strap" for porn spam and "Denise Smith, MBA" for a whole bunch of money/insurance spam. It would be nice to be able to drop address

Spinning off this initial topic, I'm interested in hearing feedback from people on auto-whitelists.  My own experience is that some "gray" spammers (people whose junk I might well have accidentally subscribed to in the past) tend to over time become auto-whitelisted (say they send 100 emails ov
