There are two entries in my .procmailrc that help prevent me from replying
to the nutbags. Here they are, for anyone else's use:
:0
* ^From:.*fleming@unety\.net
/dev/null
:0
* ^From:.*bob@fcn\.net
/dev/null
I find reading mail much more worthwhile after these filters are applied.
Not only do I have to wade through less crap, but the content seems more
intelligent, as well.
Consider this my contribution to the NANOG-RBL. I'm sure someone could
come up with an equivalent that you can use to configure your routers
(hi Randy!).
