Spam sucks. Mozilla Thuderbird has good spam filters, and I use them all!

Dammit I've been violated... and I liked it.... where's Doomy when ya need him :beer:

edit: On a side note, does running your own smtp servers protect you from the law? One of my prior companies was found at fault in a huge case based on an archived email on our systems that was brought into court. Your thoughts?
Don't archive your E-mails. :)
Sorta like, if your going to hack someones account are you going to keep logs of it? NO!
If your going to slash someones tired you going to make a video of it? NO (Some very stupid people have tho. rofl)

THat said, you can use the google search engine to social engineer peoples passwords, it's fun! :D

Worrying about G-Mail word matching your emails is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. 45 year old guys aren't reading your emails that you send to your wives and girlfriends, its a program that is simply relating words and giving you ads. If you want the space, there is no reason that the ads should deter you from getting a Gmail account. Google is by far my favorite company , just the way they handle things and their users. You love google video and google earth, then complain about getting small ads that relate to words in your emails.

No complaints, just tossing around our thoughts on the topic.
