[pmmail-list] Filtering with POPFile

[Phil Morgan]

I've used PopFile for over a year and would confirm subjectively that
it reduces processing load and allows the messages to populate the
inbox, etc., faster.  

One contrary consideration, however.  Since the recent spate of mass
emailing viruses was announced, I took out all my magnets for friends
who use Outlook and Exchange servers since they cannot control whether
or not they are sending infected messages to me ...
