I am certainly seeing an increase in a few particular messages (the
wicked screensaver, et al).
I am pleased to see that bogofilter is doing a decent job at filtering
the spam. I had been using popfile, but I had to use a web page to
adjust the classifications. Now, I have bogofilter "integrated" with
gnus and I am once again in email bliss!
Well, almost. Does anyone know of any serious proposals to deal with
the spam problem from a technological standpoint? I seriously doubt
we can trust the morons elected to office to make a significant
stand. And even if they do, the problem will just move oversees.
So, it seems it would be up to us, the few, the proud, the date-less,
to provide a real solution. Realistically, filtering is only going to
get us so far. IMHO, the email protocol itself needs work. Any
pointers (besides google)?
