Oooooh....facepalm!

No, you miss the point - my ISP (MWeb) are pretty good at pre-deleting real spam but that still leaves a lot of unwanted non-spam garbage that I have no interest in.

But as I have tried so very hard to explain, there is no way that MWeb can know that I do not wish to receive my patient Mrs McGuire's frequent observations on her health (unless they are psychic!) [or for that matter the latest bulletins from Solarwinds, The University of Cape Town, Oracle or Ubuntu].

The only way I can pre-delete this sort of unwanted stuff directly from the MWeb mailserver, before it hits my mail-client inbox at home, is by using an application such as Mailwasher (and it works very well).

Evidently we are talking at cross-purposes here and it is getting late, so I suggest that we both wish the other a cordial goodnight.

Sleep tight!
