There must be a way to let all of the new, eager entrepreneurs with dollar-signs in their eyes to co-exist with the rest of us. Probably the largest part of the problem---well, maybe equivalent with the near gridlock---has to do with junk mailings like this one from ``Cyber Promotions.'' Sometimes a civil rap on the knuckles works. I don't think this junk mail is one of those. Eventually, I expect the larger net community will circle their wagons and come up with one solution; or a small subset. Until then, however, we need some kind of filter (for those of us who run Elm) or a procmail script (for whoever has that set up). The filter or script would bounce any junk mail back automatically marked: RETURNED-UNREAD. Anybody on the list familiar with procmail scripting? Have any other, better, easier solutions?? gary kline >
