Spam

[KRFinch at dstsystems.com]

I suppose I could probably catch a lot of it by just setting up a filter to
auto delete anything from the list with a blank subject, or the phrases
"enlargement pill", "viagra", "Nigeria", or "grammar" in the body.

;)

I don't have any control over the Notes servers, just my local client
settings.

Thanks!

Hell, I don't think there's an easy way to do anything in Notes...

That is one of the reasons it's less vulnerable though.

I'm pretty sure there are spam filters you can implement on the Notes
gateway
server though.  As I said, I'm not very happy with the current state of
SpamAssassin, but there are others that work well.

A Notes server would probably be harder to do the Beysian filtering on - so

far that really relies on the mail storage being on the same system as the
filter, whereas I prefer to run the filter at an earlier stage in my system

so it never reaches the storage system.
