Way off topic, but as far as spamming, it seems to me that user or
domain blocking should be part of all mail readers. I know procmail has
it, but those many people with POP accounts should have a way to block
things. Ideally, sendmail would have an interface so
recipient/user/domain combinations could be blocked at the SMTP level,
so the mail never even is accepted.
I administer my own e-mail domain, so I have a spam file that I maintain
to block incoming mail.
