While it is mostly the job of the server software not to propagate it, last line of defense client-side anti-spam is something I would like to have better. I have the KILL file which may look like this: (gnus-kill "From" "\"Dealsbycm.se\"" '(gnus-summary-mark-as-read nil "X") t) ;; etc. (gnus-expunge "X") I do like the idea of basing anti-spam on header-value pairs (and regexps), so you can just block them off one by one. (On the server probably something more advanced/powerful and algorithmic is called for, depending on volume.) What I don't like with the KILL file solution is that it is in code (Elisp) contrary to just have a textfile of data. I did some work to automatize it: it works, without giving the impression of being rock-steady. Something like that should definitely be added to Gnus if it isn't already. http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/gnus/lamer.el http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.zsh/special/gnus_kill But I do get spam very rarely so someone must be doing something right. -- underground experts united
