[CLUE-Tech] Netscape email filters/rules for SPAM

[Dave Hahn]

Another interesting side note is the 'Colorado Junk E-Mail Law'.  I need
to look for the link that details the law, but, as an overall, it's
written very much with the ultimate consumer in mind.  For instance, a
corporation is only allowed to send you unsolicited e-mail if you 1)
have current business dealings with them or have in the last 12 months
oe 2) have given permission for them to contact you via e-mail.  Another
interesting point is that your ISP can sue then spammer for sending
e-mail to you.  (They, effectively used their services.)  The Colorado
law allows you to collect attorney's and court fees, actual damages and
$10.  Didn't seem like much until I thought about how many spam messages
I get daily.  If I filed on each one, I'd make about $300 a day.

Sounds tempting.

    Hi all,
    
    I've been inundated with SPAM these last few months and have stuggled
    with how to put them in my trash without taking the time to manually do
    it. I finally came up with some simple email filter: put a mail filter
    that says "sender" (or "to" or "from") "contains" ".com" or ".net" and
    it puts everything in the trash. I've also placed the rule at the end of
    my rule set so that ALL of my emails don't go in the trash. ;-)
    
    Anyone have any others ideas that might help?
