I’m proud and excited to announce my new pet project at http://the.gmailfilter.com. This is something I’ve setup in order to provide our web community with a more effective and powerful filter to use in conjunction with Gmail. To quote the site:

My philosophy is this: if I get a message that is obviously spam, I’d like the message to be sent to trash, and to be automatically forwarded to a spam reporting agency. I’m sick of sifting through the spam folder looking for legitimate emails. I’d prefer to use this folder as a intermediate between the inbox and trash folder, so, I’ve compiled a list of the most common words used in spam, and created a filter to do just this. As I further refine the filter, I’ll post changes which you’ll then be able to download and import into Gmail.

I’ve tested this filter against over 14,000 emails currently in my Gmail account, and am proud to report that I had zero false positives. I use my email for both personal communications and work, so, you can be assured that this works as it should.

Go ahead and give it a visit. Test it out. See what you think.
