[Rhodes22-list] Spam filtering?

[David Bradley]

I switched to Google Mail (gmail.com) and have found thier spam blocker to
be great.  It's a beta test for Google, so you need to be "invited," which I
can do if anyone is interested (off list - dwbrad at gmail.com).  They provide
a search-like mail archival capability, which takes some getting used to.

I think you can also use their spam blocker if you put a Google search box
on your browser masthead (can be done on the Google home page).
