-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I suspect this is an appropriate forum for discussing mail filtering, since it involves interoperation between sender and receiver. The basic problem is that different MLMs identify remailed mail using different techniques. The net result is that you can't start filtering until you've received at least one email and dissected it. Worse, you can't distinguish it from UBE. Some MLMs have changed their mind multiple times (mailman has done so at least three times). This madness must stop. You may be asking yourself "why don't you just use procmail ^TO?" Well, it can't distinguish between email CC'd to you and sent to you via a mailing list. Also, it can't distinguish between email CC'd to two lists, and it can't recognize email BCC'd to a list. Does anyone care to forward this on to any MLM maintainers they know? How hard would it be to standardize this? - -- The whole point of the Internet is that different kinds of computers can interoperate. Every time you see a web site that only supports certain browsers or operating systems, they clearly don't get it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFEJIPPlSPhv5tocwRAoLJAJ9o+OBD2bG3xwm/rdsRxgGYdYLvvgCfR8lS zdEFFw1IUBjeZn/I7/c/oVo= =eAq4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
