Yeah, apt-cache looks good, too.  I've been using Debian forever and I've only
recently noticed apt-cache; it looks pretty handy.

It's a spam (blocking) program called TMDA.  People who reply to the dated
address within a certain period of time get into my mailbox for free; after
the date have to "authenticate" (they get a "just reply to me" message, like
with a mailing list setup).

It was hell to configure, but I like it a lot, and it'd be impossible for me
to use email without a spam blocker.  You can read more at tmda.net, although
it looks like the site is currently down.
