Encartis looks like a nice project, thank you for pointing that out. It 
does work with qmail according to the docs btw.

I was not endorsing the use of 0spam or any other anti-spam methods. I also 
didn't want it to go off on a tangent away from the primary issue of why we 
see that subject so often and what could realistically be done to prevent it.
