Re: OT - Spam

[Julian Brown <jbrown () eprocessingnetwork com>]

I have not used SpamAssassin, but I do use MailWasher, it is a pretty good 
program. You mark each email that comes in as spam, and after about a week 
or so, very few need to be marked anymore and it automagically deletes them 
for you.

I get about 200 emails a day, 30 of them are legitimate (although that 
number is higher now since I joined this fine mailling list :).
