Now we all know we get junk email, and there are some fixes out there, however
not everyone has them and maybe some need to be thought of...

Currently about every two days I get a piece of junk from yet a different
username at interramp.com (wish someone would pull the plug on that site), so
without wildcard mail bouncing using mailkill is impossible... I am considering
the time needed to download the net.exe sources and compile under M$oft
compiler hassles.

I know removing 'default deliver|postmater' and setting up ftpusers helps,
but what about those who are not au fait with the setups.

Maybe we need to consider a multiple avenues for DIS...

1/      Wildcard mailkill in a publicly available release

2/      News postings having a from address of something like junk@mynode.d.c.u
        with the full name '(fred bloggs)' left alone, so all the newsgroup
        trawling software can collect invalid usernames.

        Heavy suggestions that the true address is put somewhere in the body of
        the message.

3/      I maybe wrong about this one already being there, non case-sensitive
        username matches.

4/      Default configuration of ~/alias and ~/ftpusers for valid usernames
        only. Including 'postmaster username' where username is the first
        username is the first one used..

Junk email is getting to be a real pain for lots of users.....
