Re: Spam Mail

# FWIW, even those messages still don't have similar-"looking" headers that
# the regular list messages have.  A fairly simple procmail recipe happens to
# catch those and put them in a "these are automated messages but not from
# a mailing list" folder for me.  So my gcc*-list mailboxes are fine, and
# spam relayed through the gcc newsgroups still gets caught and put aside.

I use Netscape's filters, personally, living in a mutli-OS network, it
makes things easier..however, I do send any mail containing "gcc" in the
To: or CC: field get sent to the GCC folder, the rest stays in the Inbox.
On a 'normal' day, my Inbox should be empty - except when spam arrives via
the list (with usually undisclosed recipient lists). And when it _does_
get left in the Inbox, I have to at least look at it to make sure it's
nothing important :)

I'm sure everyone'll agree, it's not a major gripe, as such, but it is
something that's getting annoying - I don't know about everybody else, but
I don't seem to have enough hours in the day to read the mail I want to,
let alone the spam I don't ;)
