It made me so happy today when it & my filter rules did the Right Thing to an email from M$. See attached .jpg.

Joy!

Yeah that's always very cool. All of the Hotmail spam that Hotmail's built-in spam filter "accidentally" allows through gets taken care of by Popfile. It only took 2 or 3 days for Popfile to figure out that anything from Microsoft is spam.

That, and I just now figured out how to stop Outlook from 'warning' me about deleting items from the 'deleted items' folder. A good day for email.

It only takes a few little victories to make me happy after spending half of yesterday trying to log into a W2k box with no swap file (resulting from use of PQ Disk Copy). It throws up an error box that says you have no swap file, then promptly throws you back out the the Ctrl+Alt+Del login, from which you can not (of course) create a swap file. If this was a standalone machine it would've been hosed, as the solution in my case required remote registry editing. Yeeha.

Nice work. I have to admit that every once in a while spam gets through spamcop.net, but generally it's fairly easy to forward it back to the special address and take care of it. And I have to admit I get much less spam than other people who have an equivalent web profile and browse as regularly. I believe SpamCop's active discouragement helps keep spam levels down.
