[CS-FSLUG] Junk mail filters

I have a filter which looks for "OT: " (O, T, colon, space)[1] in the
subject line, and then marks anything which matches that pattern as
read, and moves it to my trash folder. I should really do the same for
the TD and PD tags. (My personal preference would be for PD and TD
threads to be banned from the list. IMNSHO, only messages which involve
Linux use in some kind of Christian context belong here. There are
hundreds of Christian mailing lists available[2], some of which are
specifically set up for debating. I'm not interested in debating in this
list, because I read it for work[3].)

[1] The colon and space are important, unless you also want to filter
out any messages which happen to include words like "bottom", "hot",
"robot", etc.

[2] See: http://freegroups.net/groups/cu/www/ctt/ap-b-mls.html

[3] For those who are already in my killfile, if you really think it's
more important for me to read your opinions than help support Linux
users, please send in money for my support, and then I'll remove you
from my killfile, and read all your opinions. (I do not, however,
promise to agree with a single word you say, nor care about the domestic
politics of a country where I don't live.)

Well, your 15 minutes was last week, but since you weren't ready, we
gave it to Britney Spears. Sorry.
