Multiple spams in the INBOX and this is a daily occurrence of between five and ten. There is simply no valid excuse to accept any email sent to undisclosed recipient. All spammers have to do is not put an @ in the "TO" field and the recipient has to write all this bullshit to discard the spam.
I have my filters set with variations of undisclosed recipient from time past and sonic ignores these filters completely. I have my filters set up to discard all the spam but none seems to be discarded and in fact makes it's way to my inbox. As you can see, I have the threshold set to 2.0 to discard spam.
I blacklist everything and then whitelist what I want. Sonic, your user controlled filters suck and there is no excuse for the recipient to not be able to block on whatever terms they so desire. It has long been held that the end recipient should have control over their inbox. The spammers wanted the recipient to have control.
The fact is that sonic, the spammers and third parties control the spam filters and will not fix a simple thing like this to give the control to the recipient. Sonic will not reject on the lack of a "TO" filed, Sonic will not allow the recipient to do so except with procmail which is a long and involved process and requires the recipient learn procmail to block this easily blocked spam.
Dane, Eli, John..., there is simply no reason why the recipient should not be able to reject email based on whatever terms they desire.
EDIT: What is the point of this if you do not honor what you say?
