Adding to work load. And I don't use tbird filters.
they can come in handy tho for what gets thru spam filtering.
I am well aware of tbird and its filtering. I have other methods that I
prefer to use.
*All* of my spam filtering is handled by automated processes. So, "to
me" the need to manually add filters *is* more trouble. You can't
dispute how I feel.
no dispute. but manual filtering does come in handy. especially when
it comes to cleaning up a tech list.
As I said, I do use another manual method. I just don't appreciate having
to invoke it when it is avoidable.
sb stands for "Shit for Brains"?
lol. actually, i was using it for 'soap box'. but i guess your
interpretation could apply. [now i am going to catch it]
They should not be placed in the position in the first place, IMHO.
again, 100%. but it is a fact of a tech support list that there will
be posters with nothing better to do than load down a list.
if they want to bash heads, it would be more effective/affective if
they would do it in a 'chat' some where. then they could interrupt
each other and make it more to their level.
I have seen people using procmail filtering and weights and malformed
rules getting mail discarded when they did not intend it to be so.
all a part of a learning curve that has to be dealt with. and a reason
that i do all my additional filtering with tbird.
with tbird, i set up filtering for tech list and non tech list, friends
and relatives, all by sender address. then i filter for html, which is
used by majority of spammers. what is left goes to 'occupant' which i
will check for time to time and usually 'delete all'.
it is not a perfect world, but best around so far.
It is good that tbird filters work for you.
