That is usually temporary Dave, unless one session while kneecaps heal is
enough to convince them to find another means of employment. Personally, I
prefer the shotgun & shovel approach, although the Slugger doesn't make as
much noise even when depressing a skull by 4". {8-[
However, considering that my email addy has only changed once since back in
the middle 90's, the 200-300 that comes in here a week, and that gets trimmed
to one or 2 by sa & procmail, isn't that bad.
What we really really need is someway to handle the spam from the yahoo
servers, difficult because it comes from the same machines that service the
mailing lists they carry. That right there would trim my incoming weekly
spam total by 50 percent or more.

Very true! I get lots of SPAM everyday because I use yahoo mail. There are many many many messages that I click to report SPAM. They still make their way to the mailbox. I have no way to fight them other than click on SPAM and delete them. They come back and I do the same. I am not complaining but agreeing with Gene. SPAMMERS like yahoo alot. I have other email accounts but I want to keep them away from SPAM, SPAM still goes in there, but not as abundant as in yahoo.
Regards,
Antonio
