    So Scott, are you one of the spammers who is so upset with the sort of
    mail filters I advocate and use that you can't see straight?

    Why else would you post something so utterly irrelevant to this newsgroup
    and the thread?

    Spammers hate these filters because they can't beat them, and will stop
    at nothing to discredit them: Most of the participants in that thread
    are spammers' sockpuppets, which you surely know, yet fail to inform
    the readers here...

    The fact is, that people who use these filters get no spam, have no problems
    receiving mail they want to receive (including from mailing lists com-
    mericial and non-commercial) and don't have to mess with their filters
    at all: Spam is just GONE from their lives.

    See the URLs in my sig for lots of useful information on the topic,
    including links to pages that Scott here would definitely approve
    of: They are filled with lies about such filters.
