Hi Cheryl and or others who may be in the know,

Are there things like Bayesian filters under Linux? (Filters that
learn what's spam as you go rather than relying on a blacklist)

On 18 Jan 2004 06:26:35  (my local time 13:26:35), you typed::
CH> Can anybody tell me if there's a way to get rid of these stupid emails
CH> about viagra, sex, how to get drugs online without a prescription, and
CH> other horrible and/or stupid stuff. I know there's spamassassin, but since
CH> the emails come with different subject headings, often innocent or
CH> important-looking ones, and they're always purportedly from different
CH> people, I don't know how to get rid of them. I never knowingly did
CH> anything to solicit such stuff, and email used to be a complete pleasure,
CH> but sometime this summer this kind of junk started becoming prevalent. Of
CH> course, I usually can avoid reading it; if it tells me to pick up my order
CH> for instance and i don't have an order to be picked up I delete it, and if
CH> it's supposedly to me but the index in pine doesn't give a name or email I
CH> know I delete it. but really, I don't even want the stuff coming here.
CH> Thanks for any suggestions. I'm really frustrated!!!
