Lars, This is great stuff your're thinking about. Your first and second post in this thread looks like a helluva good start in the right direction. With the simple key strokes and hooking into a couple of those anti spam things. Not all of us users are as (ahem) `sophisticated' as Robin :-). I have 12 spam filter recipes in procmail that catch most stuff and have been refined over mnths (but very casually). It really is quite an undertaking. Complicated by list memberships etc. I think many of us would prefer this kind of functionality in gnus rather than being pointed at dozens of applications or changes in basic MTA. (qmail zealots suck - long live sendmail - long live exim) (Take that you knave (Robin).... he he) (Asbesteos Long Johns duly trotted out) I especially liked the add to white list thing. A good way to easily counter false hits. With a setup like you described, I suspect it would be only a matter of a few days before a user had a really good and effective spam trap system in place. All done with a few key strokes in gnus. yes... yessss Go Lars go!
