I would like a to have a program that could act as a server process and kill all spams at that host.
Spamassassin can be set up this way.
Instead of doing filters at the email client , it would be nice if I could get all of my laptops mail filtered before reaching them.?
In order to do this, you would have to either convince your ISP to install spamassassin [and further convince them to run the program on your behalf] OR you would have to set up a server "at home" to retrieve and filter the messages and then make them available to your laptop This is actually easier than it sounds -- programs such as "fetchmail" would be used to retrieve [and filter] messages from your ISP's mailbox and place them on your server. You then configure your server [and firewall] to allow your laptop-based client to access your "server" to retrieve the [now filtered] messages. -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
