Probably half my email is now spam. I'm messing around with Red Hat 7.1
and 7.2 systems. They include JunkBusters (I think it is). Anyone have
any experience with this? Do they use the MAPS list? I think it'd be
interesting to set up an email address called spamtrap@whatever.com . All
incoming email would be compared with that spam trapped. A high
correlation would cause the email to be rejected. Meanwhile, I'll have to
buy a new delete key pretty soon...
