Re: dealing with spam

[Kevin L. <la...@fr...>]

Hi, Greg!

That's an interesting solution to the spam problem.  For me, have
2,377 messags in my spam folder right now, just for the last 30 days.
The only way I've been able to handle this volume of spam is to use
the Google headers:

  X-Gm-Spam:
  X-Gm-Phishy:

I get my email in MH-E that is a forwarded copy from my Google
(Workspace) account.  It's not perfect.  I have to look at the Gmail
interface for my account every few days and mark mis-indentified spam
and ham.  In MH-E I see maybe 1-2 incorrectly indentified ones a day,
sometimes 0.

Good luck with your solution!

Kevin
