So far I have avoided running packages like this by the
simple precaution of never placing my actual e-mail on
my web site. Instead I use 'rick at jreality.com', which
people understand but spam crawlers do not (a trick from
one of the HOWTOs). It seems to be highly effective.
Have received as much spam from signing up for debian-java
for a week than almost a year of running my own server.
Perhaps one of these filter programs can be placed on
the debian-java e-mail server and filter things centrally
for all of us. Good idea, or bad?
