I know it is too late to tell you but, never
reply to a SPAM or SPAMMER remove address.

If you run your own mail server or can get email with
fethcmail, install procmail.

I currently have deployed, teergrube, custom sendmail rules,=20
and procmail with IMRSS,ORBS,RSS,MAPS DUL,and MAPS RBL and=20
have knocked my incoming SPAM down to maybe 1 SPAM every other week.

I am looking for a new machine to use to proxy incoming email
and have even finer grain control over incoming email thru API filters.

See: news://news.admin.net-abuse.email

For tools and tips.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and
hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
