Willard,
Mozilla 1.4 (still in beta, I think) has a built in Bayesian
spam-identification tool, which marks messages as "junk"
automatically. Junk messages can be forwarded to a folder, or simply
deleted en masse. It takes a while to learn what you consider to be junk,
and it does still give some false positives and negatives, but on the whole
it seems to work quite well. It has certainly made my inbox more manageable.
Cheers,
Hugh

Although I use SpamAssassin in the office, with the Guinevere tool for
GroupWise (Guinevere is far from free, but it is after all intended for
businesses and provides more than just anti-virus and anti-spam
capabilities), at home I use POPFILE, which is also free software, and
provides email categorization as well as spam elimination.

I don't have any personal experience with it, but someone gave me a
reference a while ago to Spamnet, which is apparently a system that
allows a community of like-minded recipients to collectively block spam.
Here's the URL:

"Well, now I say good-bye to you. I think we shall meet again soon. In any
case, whether we see each other again or not, we must lead constructive
lives. We must have compassion. Life should not be destructive. That is the
essential thing."
