[SOC] More on anti-spam

[Bill Cunningham]

I don't know, either.  The answer I received was to effect of "not worth the
cost of filtering here."  Well, if enough members were obnoxious, it might
be worth their while.  I actually got several replies, one of which said
"Please don't forward your spam to webmaster.  It won't do any good."  I
replied that getting his attention was itself an improvement.

They are fighting the problem, at least based on the crap I receive.  The
listed points of origin vary, but there are about 6 simple patterns that
would eliminate 90+% of this traffic.  I can't make compound rules with
Outlook Express.  I'm otherwise happy with Outlook or would switch to Eudora
and Spamnix.

What really galls me is the continued advertizing of what a great benefit
this service is when it has become a major pain.

73,
