Comments were recently made about replying to the sender of some spam. I would only do this with the private stuff that gets forwarded/forwarded/forwarded from your friends or relatives. *NEVER* reply to "commercial" or "big time" spammers! They just use that as a confirmation. It seems like the majority of my spam stops coming if I simply delete and ignore. I realize this may be hard to take if you get 50 spams a day or something:). I have also forwarded (with headers expanded) heavy porn or money laundering schemes to abuse@.com. I have to take a good guess from the expanded headers to do this but I think it has yielded some interesting results. Some good auto filtering techniques would be interesting though. thanks for the snippets in a previous message. They warrent some close study. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
