Detailed here:

  http://www.nepean.uws.edu.au/users/david/pe/blockmail.html

Basically, I take advantage of new R8.8.x features.

Thanks, duly noted;  I'll check this later, to see if it covers anything
Claus' rules don't.

That's the idea.  :-)

All sources (Web-wise) are listed near the bottom of the above Web page.
I've kept the news/email copies separate for the moment, as I'm still
adding stuff.  I'll send you a copy when it's done (to do with as you
please..).

Can that - it's grown to over 230 entries since I started poking around
news.admin.net-abuse.[email|misc] - and even then, I'm skipping most
articles.  I'm sure someone's going to think I'm overly prejudicial when I
finally finish making additions and release the contents of my rejection
list.  Such a sad state of affairs, and only the spammers to blame...  :-(

Cheers..
