Yea, provided your "local" mail server is on the internet side of the
cellphone link you're paying through some body orifice for.
I use three Mail-Adresses to download the 37 Mailinglists into a
local-Archive because ther are more the on person reading the lists.
So never I will answer mails with this E-Mails.
But I get Spammed from elsewhere.
How you reply to them shouldn't be a concern. If you're saying that the
addresses to which you are subscribed to discussion lists don't get
spammed, then it seems pretty straightfoward that you'd forward all those
messages to your cellphone (or deposit in your mailspool, however your
cellphone is actually retrieving mail), and just do heavy filtering on your
private email account (where we must presume all your spam arrives at).
Do you know a program (under Debian) which can Delete mails which do
not come from the Mailinglists (=whitelist)
Uh, I dunno, why not use PROCMAIL? If you're looking for
_some_other_program_ to deal with your mail, you're asking on the wrong list.
Alternatley, just run all your mail through something like SpamAssassin,
via a procmail wrapper which ditches the highly suspect stuff. Lots of
this stuff is documented in the procmail archives.
Filter all the known mailing lists to which you are subscribed (and if
you're a real tightwad, you can strip list footers and some headers as well
- perhaps store an original on your mail server, but deposit the cleaned up
version in your mail spool for cellular download). Factored over a large
number of messages, a bit of scrubbing can really add up.
Note: Downloading of 60 Mbyte Mailinglists per Month cost me 30 Euro
per month.
But last Month I have had additional 37 Hours for arround
500 MBytes which cost me 220 Euros more.
You might be happy to know that the European cellular services are a LOT
cheaper than their American counterparts.
I like to bill the Spammes which are in *.nl and *.de
Where I'm from, spammers tend not to include information on where to send
invoices and they often use freebie tollfree services through which you
cannot obtain their identities without involving court action.
