Spamorama: First, let me say that my new anti-spam software is operating at about 98 per cent, blocking almost everything that I never want to see again. That's the good part.

Unfortunately, the fact is that I still have to look at the spam it stops. I don't have to actually open it up and read it, but I do have to look at the headers and choose whether I want to nuke it or not. Then, if it's borderline, I have to look at the text to make sure I'm making the right decision.

So, how, exactly is this better than just letting all the spam through and then making those same decisions inside my e-mail program instead of in the anti-spam program?

I guess its a marginal improvement, in that everything that comes to me from work now comes through, so I know I'm not going to miss important messages.

Sigh.
