This includes stuff for sales, webmaster, etc. The domain names are

need to filter e-mail coming in to those kind of addresses if you
have a large enough company where you can't just throw away inquiries
to sales, webmaster, etc. That kind of filtering is not for mere
mortals, that's when you step up and pay for a major professional
solution.
I wonder if I could sell my filter program... or sell installation of
it...
Hey if it works there is big bucks in filtering spam. Sometimes I
wonder if the same guys who are selling spam filters aren't working the
other side also and generating spam to drum up business selling
filters.
You can get by with some of the less expensive/involved filters but
at the cost of sweat on your brow, misfiltered e-mails, and lots of
spam still leaking by.
The sweat on my brow was fun! And I think I just figured out how to
weed out the ones where the username is valid but the quoted name is
not, such as
"Not Walter" <walter@...>
I'm trying out this filter rule:
if raw:to matches
^"[\w+(\s+\w+)*]+"\s<[-\w]+@natural-innovations and
raw:to does not match ^"Walter(\s+\w+)*" then trash
Umm... did I do those regex's right? It's 3am...
Bleh, try as I might I still can't grok regex as well as I want to.
All the slashes and quotes and brackets make my head start to spin
after a while...
