Due to the content and "construction" of spam messages,
it should be easy for postprocessing filters to eliminate
them from the inbox (or already deny their receiving to
the inbox). But do people really feel this is needed?
In my experience, is less than 10 messages of spam per day,
so it's easier to me to press DEL (which is a function of
my "stupid" MUA) that few times than to install, train,
and maintain a spam filter software. :-)
