 I tried setting up a spamfilter through my ISP's web site, and
shouldn't have. It's blocking a lot of stuff I want, and calls
for it to resend are getting no result.

(I run pine421 on my ISP's machine; don't trust my command of
linux enough yet to connect it to the Net and run my own pine.)

Modifying the spamfilter on the ISP's web site gets me an email
with the text of a 'procmail script to remove spam from inbox' --
so I did pico .procmailrc, getting a file which appeared to
contain all and only the filter. I deleted it, and left an
apparently empty .procmailrc behind.

	Will this do the job? Do I need to delete the .procmailrc
altogether? Or what?

	The ISP fixed it. Sorry to bother anybody.

Better to be a gamma geek with linux
than an alpha nerd chained to muckeyslop.

Probably removing (or renaming) the .promailrc file will be safer.
