I've made more updates. Rather than just putting them here, I've created a
page at RubyGarden:

Thanks so much, Austin (and other contributors)
for putting this together.

A word of warning: don''t set the size threshold too small. Yesterday, I
ran the following script (at home) all day while I was at work:

while [ true ]; do
yes | ruby pop3filter.rb
sleep 300
done

That guarded my inbox just nicely so I could check it at work.

Today, having noticed that quite a few small (1-2K) annoying Microsoft
emails were coming through, I lowered the size threshold to 1500 bytes.
Until I rang home to get it stopped, no mail was getting through to me!
For some reason, every email was matched, and thus killed, by the program!
Until I get home to see what happened, I won''t know what emails I missed
out on.

Cheers,
Gavin

I just cleaned 27Mb of Swens this morning!!!

Just to close my contribution to this thread, I wanted to comment that
after a few little improvements the original filter was finally
published:
