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

You could set up rules on the spam filter doing that.  Unfortunately the
spammers are starting to do the P&E-Nl$ thing which just kills those kinds
of rules.  Which is why the Bayesian filter is the only real option.

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?
