NO you people, I do NOT want Xanax, Ambien, Viagra, Cialis, Hoodia, a "rolex replica" watch, a bouquet, a new mortgage, a round of Texas Hold-'Em, a screensaver, DVD cloning software, life insurance, pirate w4r3z in fake boxes, an eBay handbook, "nude celeb" photos, a merchant credit card account, shares of crap stock, a crap diploma, crap vitamins, or a profile on a dating site!

I'm up to 40 messages a day that the *$(&@# junk filter can't capture no matter how much I train it.

That's got to be a weird position to be in. So do you set up an anti-anti-spam rule in your mailbox?

Nah, the company's filtering of outside mail is quite sufficient to take care of those sorts of things, and if anyone emails me at home, it can't be *that* important. And since I'm not in sales or marketing, I really don't have to worry about outside emails that deal with our products. But it's just interesting to realize that if I were training a filter from scratch (rather than using Gmail's built-in filters), "Ambien" would probably not get an email flagged as spam, whereas "4mb1en" would.
