I am running windoze and use outlook express (I know, I know, but swords are
not so shiny with that beardy linux nonsense) so filtering means I have a
Real Friends folder  and then just delete my entire inbox after a cursary
glance to see if I recognise any addy. I managed to set it to put all the
virus alerts from globalnet in the deleted items wotsit. (which have almost
become spam in themselves) I tired setting it to delete any emails with the
words "viagra" "webcam" and "teens" but it didnae work.

What is spam assassin?

Its gone very quiet round here - everyone given up clubbing and taken up
basket weaving or summat I guess.
