    Re: I am sick of spam!

    My suggestion is to use a statistical (sometimes known as Bayesian) spam filter. Basically you train it on what is spam and then it sends that spam to the spam / delete folder

    This can be done in one of two ways

    1) Use a mail client that has statistical spam filter built in or can accept a plugin. I now use Thunderbird.

    or

    2) Run a spam filter as a proxy between the mail client and the POP server. I used Popfile http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ in the past with Outlook 98 / Windows 98. Popfile can be installed in Ubuntu using Synaptic and should work with any mail client.

    I think there might be a security hole in it. And now hackers know how to get it, there isn't much you can do, except order Dapper from shipit. I think when Dapper drops around, it will scare those spammers.

    LOL - that is awesome. I've used to raise birds so that would be a pleasant suprise to find a nest like that around the yard. I did find a rabbit hole a couple weeks ago, but they've since jumped ship I think.
