My spam filter


Recently some of my friends complained my spam filter.

Yes I put an aggressive one. For MPI people, I will tell you a bit more about that. The filter is a combination of the following filters:

When you get a message, like

Due to a lot of spam, this email account was closed....

Then sorry, your email did not reach me. This answer is based on Sieve's vacation program. You can not reach me my mpi-sb account anyway. That account I have more than 200 spams per day. So, I just redirect them /dev/null. Please try mpi-inf account.

One more thing, once you see this message, and next time you send me an email from the same address. Probably you do not get even this message, but your email did not reach me again. Since this is Sieve's vacation, the program remember the sender for some amount of days. And it does not reply to the same email address to avoid bouncing.

The bouncing means for example, if you also use the vacation program, I return your email by my vacation program and then your vacation program reply that. This is a big problem. So, this time your email is silently gone.

If you have a trouble to reach me. Please ask your friends who can reach me. Or try to use the other address if you have. Or please try the other methods, phone, skype, snail mail, and so on. When you reach me, I will update my white list.

Sorry for this inconvenience.
