When working with Eudora, you are able to define filters. If certain
conditions are true, specific actions will be taken.

In 'actions', you can choose 'server options', with the two check boxes
'Fetch' and 'Delete'.

If I choose 'Delete' as my only action when the condition is 'from'
contains 'fromTheSPAMDevil' [you know what I mean], does it then mean
that I have effectively deleted the e-mail from the person who SPASMs,
without having to pay for downloading the stuff. And, if I also choose
'Fetch', will that then mean that I do nevertheless download it before
it is deleted?

When writing in the ordinary [political] discussion groups, it is
frequently posted to tens of newsgroups. Some of them on sex instead of
politics. You wil then get offers from brothels and the like from all
over [especially] the US - a country I have never visited [I've only
been outside Europe once, in Israel on a student's course paid by the
Israeli government [as member of a Danish party's youth organization]].

How probable is it that a college kid were to go from Denmark to Florida
to visit a brothel? They do [semi-illegally] exist in Copenhagen, but
I've never dreamed of doing such a thing.

Also, when writing in the newsgroups, you get offers that say $$$.
Pyramid games like in Albania. Chain letters. Business offers that seem
untrusty.

The most effective way to get rid of such letters seem to filter them
out automatically in the way mentioned above. I don't have to pay that
much in telephone bill, because the next time person xxx send me a 5M
pornographic picture that I can't even look at because I use a text-only
e-mail program - it will automatically be deleted from the server
without my knowledge. Having him blocked out already.

Some people suggest to return the letter to the sender and to notify his
postmaster. In general, however, the mail is returned from the
postmaster with the note that the addressee doesn't exist!
