dont mention it 
i forgot where i found that , i think it might have been on here. anyway it really is a great utility, and the instructions on the website are really very easy to follow. aside from making sure your email server isnt an open relay, other steps to prevent gettting spam is to just not give our your email address. i recieve minimal spam, maybe one or 2 every 3 weeks. a big thing i think is that people really dont think twice about giving out their email address. people sign up for contests to win $1000000 and dont realize that they are selling your address to ad. companies. another preventative tip is whenever you post your email on message boards, or irc channels, or on website is to NOT include the '@' sign, instead just use the word 'at' eg: nobody at example.com
also, whenever i recieve spam that i am positive i didnt give the senders my address, if i have the time ill send them a polite email requesting that they take my address of of their send list and that sometimes helps. anyway , hope all that helps!

In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it. text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
