Re: Simple Bozo-Filter Example? (fwd)

I started using Tim's absolutely great recipe for bouncing unwanted trash
from spammers and bozos.  After seeing how well it worked, I gave it
to others.  One undergrad, however, created the recipe *without*
adding anything to the killfile (email.killfile, in this case).
This somehow matched all mail coming to the undergrad.

Below is the .forward, the .procmailrc and the log from a test message
that I sent to the undergrad's account.  Is this just going to happen
if the killfile is empty or is there something else wrong?

Thanks.
