However, you can easily filter spam on client side, for example, if the messages contain HTML garbage, or certain keywords are met. Filtering for certain X-Mailer strings is also possible. If you don't want to do this in your MUA, you can use your MTA to do this at an earlier stage (either by deleting the offending messages, or simply denying to receive them). In my opinion, this is not even worth the time, as there is only _few_ spam on this list (compared to others!) which only requires a single DEL keypress to be deleted. In most cases, the subject is fully sufficient to determine if this action is required. This opinion illustrates that I'm a lazy person who doesn't receive thousands of messages per day to be bothered automating anything. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
