Seeing several junk mail filters posted recently, varying from the
simple to the complex, I thought I would also share my own.
I junk whatever comes from my ISP but is not addressed to my domain or
to one of the mailing lists I subscribe to.
What I value about this approach is its simplicity. it catches nearly
all junk mail but requires maintenance only when I change my mailing
list subscriptions.
I think that the maintenance effort for a more complex filter
(especially a dynamic one) would cost me more time than it costs me to
delete the 1% of junk that still gets by.
The conditions are even relatively easy to read.
