While we are on this topic, does anyone know of any way to get procmail to
block email that has non-ASCII (or non-printable?) characters in it? MIME
attachments will still come through, right? I've been getting a lot of mail
that was intended to be in some Asian character set (Taiwanese?), some of it
from a .tw domain, I believe. Very annoying. It's one thing to spam, it's
quite another to be spamming folks in such a scatter-shot fashion that you
don't even send it in the language they read. :)

I don't want to block whole IP blocks, though, because after a quick grep of
my mailboxes, some of the worthwhile contributors to some of the mailing
lists I am on have at least 210.x.x.x in their headers. I didn't check for
211.
