Re: thanks & SPAM

[Jordan Klein <haplo@haplo.net>]

I suggest using SpamAssassin.  You can either get the source from the 
www.spamassassin.com (or .org, I forget) site, or install the 
Mail::SpamAssassin module with CPAN.  It requires a bit of .procmailrc 
configuration, but is well worth it.  I have cut my spam down by >95% 
using it.  And, of course, being free, it rocks.
