- Before doing anything drastic you migh consider contacting your own
- site's sysadmin to ask him/her how to use mail fiters. There are
- filter programs which you can use to even discard all mail without
- seeing it if it comes from a paticular user. You might even set it
- up to bounce the message back, but that requires some programming
- skills. As an archive site and newsgroup moderator I have to
- automatically sort my mail influx with a filter, but it also comes
- handy to ward off the pests.
-
- But please do not ask me for the technical details or for individual
- tutoring on setting it up. Unfortunately I cannot afford the time.
- As I said, ask your local sysadmin about mail filters.
-
- All the best, Timo
