I recieved the exact same spam emails that you did. My very very simple p= erl=20 script spam filter managed to block both of them without blocking all yah= oo=20 addresses. Why block domains when most spam can be blocked with=20 keywords/baysian filters? While were on the subject, it may be a commonly asked question, im not su= re,=20 but is there not some server side filtering of spam from freebsd, it=20 currently makes up 10% of all my spam recieved? (My conservative filters = at=20 this end manage to catch most of the freebsd spam with no false positives= ). I=20 should think it would save some cpu cycles and bandwidth to filter? - jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
