I recieved the exact same spam emails that you did. My very very simple perl script spam filter managed to block both of them without blocking all yahoo addresses. Why block domains when most spam can be blocked with keywords/baysian filters? While were on the subject, it may be a commonly asked question, im not sure, but is there not some server side filtering of spam from freebsd, it currently makes up 10% of all my spam recieved? (My conservative filters at this end manage to catch most of the freebsd spam with no false positives). I 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
