real spamblocking ware...

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

ok, annoying is that the actual spam just uses spanish or someother language or a mad libs program for the first paragraph, and then fake proxy accounts to squeak by the filter software. My filter software still tends to dump my own finincial notifications, as well as the occiasional Email from here and Spacebattles as "Spam" because they are "Mass Mailings".....

Is there some fucking way of beating these fucking assholes?

I mean I don't want to be bombaarded but I would like to know if my order from Games workshop has actually shiped or something...

Yahoo's filter is pretty good.

Gmail's is absolutely excellent. Kills all spam dead when you train it right.

Short of finding where they and those who host their spamsites physically live, subjecting the fuckheads to lengthy torture, and repainting their homes red with their own blood and guts via DShK, KPV, or rusty sharpened spoon, no. Nailbats work as well.
