To be honest, that's pretty much what I thought, yes.
I just surveyed 600 mail items in my in-box.
Of that 600, 43 were from the domains I have listed here and onl one is
something I would have wanted to receive - an e-mail from my sister.
I'll tell here I won['t be able to receive Yahoo.com mail anymore. I'll
ask her to get yahoo.ca......from which I never get junk mail of
spoofed virus payloads.

Right. My Chinese friends are all in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
I have no friends that I know of in the Czech Republic. If I do, I will
specificallyaply a different rule to their domain before applying the
blanket .cz rule.

OK.

Yeah, I know. I just don't want to see any of it.
My kids are geting porn mail......lolita stuff. I want to filter it
out.
