Hehe...I knew you were going to chime in on this one Rog. ;) I can see it now, Roger Wright, Chief Spam Stopper steps up to the block. The convicted spammer tries desperately to wriggle himself free of the cuffs keeping him in place. The 'Stopper stares at him though the veil with icy eyes, muttering the words that the spammer will remember forever: "For the last time, I don't need Viagra!" The cold iron bar raised above his head, Wright pauses for a second and then, with the fury of a million frustrated e-mail users, brings the weight of judgement down upon the poor wretch's hands, ending his spamming spree forever... Okay, so maybe I'll stick with my applied math degree rather than a Lit degree. :rolleyes:

Beheading. Permanent fix. Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

Indeed! Over 90% of the email I receive is spam, and that's after SpamBayes has already filtered it.:omg: "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

Not cruel enough. People need to remember, and they will when they'll see an ex-spammer crawling. Let's add a "SPAMMER" tatoo on the face, just to be sure.

I think Sender Policy Framework[^] looks quite promising actually. AOL, Hotmail and Google's GMail are all using it already. Microsoft have turned on SPF for msn.com and microsoft.com. It's enabled on earthlink.net. I'm sure there are many others. When I say 'turned on', I mean that those domains have put SPF records in DNS. This indicates which servers are actually entitled to send mail from those domains. Spam filters can use this as additional information to decide whether the mail is coming from an authorized user and server. This has an extra implication - your mail will be less trusted if you send it from somewhere other than your home server. To this end RFC 2476[^] specifies a new port, 587, for authenticated-only SMTP traffic for users 'away from home' to use to submit mail. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I fear many will use fight against spam as a cover for their agenda. Yes, I'm paranoid :-D

I like Thunderbird, but I do find that it doesn't get rid of that much spam. In my case it probably gets rid of 70%. Is that good? I was expecting it to be higher.
That's odd. My mom hardly ever complains about spam anymore. Maybe I'll ask her how much it actually gets rid of. One thing that you could do is set up the standalone SpamBayes filter. In addition to making a plugin for Outlook, the SpamBayes team also makes an app that watches your POP3 traffic and can scan your mail when it comes in that way. You may want to try that if you find the built-in filter to be ineffective.

You don't need less spam, you need more friends ;)

One dose of viagra for each email they send should provide both a painful and laughable death.
