Yeah, I used it for a while. The problem I had with it is that it didnt identify very well the spams, making it so that you still have to manually go in and mark the emails.

I think a good spam solution should make it so that you dont even have to look at the spam or know that it is there other than the rapidly filling spam folder.

Never bounce the emails.

The addresses are faked most of the time anyway, so you are just putting additional load on the mailservers.

I've been trying this for a little while now. I set it up to mark anything that's "not to me" and delete them. The problem is, everything I get sent becomes listed as "not to me", anyone familiar with this problem?
