Well thank you all for your input...I've gotten Spam Assassin 
installed....and now I'm going to play with it to see just how precise I 
ca get it....I'll start off with the obvious stuff..(viagra.....online 
pharmacy......erroneous dating sites, the million dollars I'm getting 
from the UK Lottery, the car / boat / house I qualify to purchase....the 
women who OBVIOUSLY want to date me from the 
Ukraine...Germany....Spain..etc....and the free offers from anyone with 
an internet connection and a computer!) then I'll try to work it towards 
the other stuff! I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes!...
