    Hi guys,

    What about some thoughts on how to reduce this problem at the server?
    How about a silent disconnect to the sending email server when the note
    is found to be spam to keep the server from going to the next spam victim?

    I don't know about you fellows, but I have been using some filtering,
    and my mail box is a continuous stream of traffic. Much of which is
    from lists I am on, however much of it gets past the filters. They
    still take up bandwidth that I really hate to see wasted.

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Dave
