However, this exchange has explained to me by explaining how many
spam filters work, why my mail has been rejected as spam at times.
Short messeges such as simple ASCII text and no HTML may offend
the algorithm.
Also, testing for someone who has not communicated with you
previously could inhibit new business while dumping the usual
spam addressee.
I'll stick with the delete key. It is a pain when these clowns
fill my mailbox and my ISP gets flakey but I'll have to live
with it. The ideal method would seem to be a separate "delete
spam" function that hunts down the real address behind the
fakes that the spammer hides behind and lambasts him or her
with both wasted bandwidth and legal warnings.
This key would not be activated automatically but manually both
to prevent mistakes and to acheive some satisfaction.
