I tried mine for a while, dumping to a separate folder. After a few
weeks of getting no false dumpings, I simply delete from server. I
figure if anything important gets dumped, like lost letters in the
mail, it can be sorted, and in any case, the sender may learn to alter
their methods.

As I understand it, ISP-side spam/virus filters are a mixed blessing.
They can strain out real mail as well. However, it seems to me that
with this virus, the attachment is probably the same size most of the
time, that and other criteria should make it fairly easy to nuke these
jerks work.

I think the best thing to do is just string 'em up.

that can clog up the server. its a problem here at the FreeNet. better to
delete when filtered out instead of waiting.

Sorry. Do you mean deleting from Server, or dumping to a separate
folder?

I was not about to start deleting until I had tested the spam
selection software a little.

I don't have the option to delete before it gets to the ISP's server,
or before my account actually accesses it. I believe they are actually
doing a lot of that already, but that's beyond my control. They did
say there were severe legal complications with removing emails, spam
or not, without action/permission by the recipient, and I can
understand that.
