Subject: Killfile for Pine?

This e-mail spam garbage has gotten out of control. Is there any way I 
can block out mail from, for example, everyone @interamp.com? It's 
sickening to see these creeps wasting my disk space for their commercial 
messages. Advice urgently sought.

best strengthen the hand of a police state. Then, do not allow the Government 
to deploy those technologies.  --Philip Zimmermann

    For good or for ill, Pine does not implement a killfile.  You have
to use something which processes the mail _ahead_ of Pine.  On Unix
systems, two commonly used such programs are procmail and filter.

You should know that those kinds of spams are potentially illegal.  Go
to the URL http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/47/227.html .  It's quite
lovely.
