Very Urgent : Require... <- SUGGESTION TO ISPs
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I still don't understand why no ISP has considered user-defined filters at
the INBOUND side, something like the mail filters in Outlook, but applied to
the ISPs inbound mail for that address, and configurable via Web interface.
I could then filter all the 'unsubscribes', '$$$', '!!!', etc.... which
account for about 15% of all the email I receive.
Just an idea,
Mike

Comments
messages can either be forwarded to another folder on the server or sent to
/dev/null. We also ask our customers to add a forward to our spam
collector box. We then use those messages to ensure that other spam is
stomped out.
