SPAM Filter
« on: January 07, 2012, 03:45:59 PM »
My last mailbox clean-up sorted a 2K plus mails, most of them spam. Is there an efficient and updated spam filter for the Amiga mailers?

P.S. Is the "KillDuplicates" arexx script (YAM) reliable?

You guessed wrong! It`s been a long time since I`ve used YAM (I used it regularly on 68K), then I switched to SimpleMail (a Yahoo POP account). Meanwhile the old mbox was filling up with SPAM. I tried to flush now and then (I had lost my Password , so the account was bounded with YAM).
The frustrating thing is that most of the mail is SPAM , last check a couple of days ago, and I got over 2000 mails (I know, it was a long time ago since I last checked!).
Now I got the latest PPC YAM version (still beta), but I see nice features! I`ll have to test it anyhow.

What about the KillDuplicates? It failed to DL the whole stuff in once, so I got hundreds of duplicates. Is it safe to use it on such a huge number of mails? Should I be careful regarding something (like clicking in or out of the window while scanning? It scans and then selects the assumed duplicates)?
