Thank you, Mr. Spammer.

The Defense Intelligence Agency only issued 200 decks of these cards and they did NOT commission anyone else to make them.

They do, however, allow you to make your own by downloading their PDF version of the cards. So you can print them out right at home.

The two official military website links where you can get them:

All my filters have words added by me. I add a word and tell the filter what to do with it - delete unread or put it on a spam box.

Because some words or part words used by spammers may also be used by normal people in their email subject lines, most stuff I have moved to the spam box. Only a few normal emails a month get caught. The rest are all spam.

I use Pegasus Mail as my email program because it does not open email by clicking on it once - so I can click and then choose delete without it opening. It does not run attachments. It lets me fully control what happens to incoming email. I can create distribution lists and check multiple pop accounts with only a couple of mouse clicks.
