[cumbria_lug] Blocking Spam

[trevor at haven.demon.co.uk]

Schwuk wroted:
The best defense against spam I have found is a combination of having my 
own domain name, procmail, and Thunderbird (Mozilla Mail).

The more defenses against spam the better exlaims trevor excitedly.

Jen, hugged me and asked,

If the spam is automatically blocked, how do you know how efficient it is? Or 
do they send you a list of messages blocked or something?

Trevor looks kindly at Jen and replies,
Simple, I compare the amount of spam I recieve now 
to the amount I recieved before and make an approximate
comparison.  Since I havn't made any changes at my end
the reduction in spam is due to what Demon have done.

Spammers are only aware of two things, the response rate
and the profit line on the balance sheet and it is there
the war against them will be fought.  I will never 
contribute to either statistic. It will take time to
defeat them but it will be worth it. 


I need to get the wife a copy of 'The proper care and
feeding of husbands' by Dr Laura Schlessinger.  
amazon.co.uk here I come.

IBM advertise Linux on telly, somehow I am always
