[dba-Tech] Blocked Sender's List or Is this the right list fo rthis kind ofquestion?

The ones I've seen all segregate them into different folders, but you still
have to push delete yourself. You set up filters based on words or
characters in the message text, subject bar or address, but you still have
to delete everything yourself.

a year after installing Spamkiller (I know I go on about it a bit, but I
think it's great), I still have a quick look through the list of "filtered"
messages to make sure there are no false positives, perhaps from people
who's name isn't in your address book or something.

Yeah, I'm thinking so.  It appears from my last thread that K9 is the best
way to go.  Except you still have to delete them by hand, no?  It shunts all
the stuff it thinks is spam to a folder for you to review?

Or can you make it automatically delete email with certain words like
viagara or penis?
