Evolution

[John Dangler]

Since applying for a scholarship online about 2 weeks ago, I have been
consistently inundated with spam mail in my personal email box
(approximately 500-600 per day).  I've been setting up rules to filter
this, but I do notice 2 things
(1) the douche bags who insist on doing this just keep changing the
names of the subject, and the source (xlt.com , xlti.com, xtli.com,
txltet.com) ... 
(2) some of the filters don't even work, which for the life of me i
cannot figure out why... i.e. (I have a rule looking for _any_ of
single, singles, Single, Singles, SINGLE, SINGLES; I get an email with
Are you tired of being single ? in the subject, and the filter leaves it
alone) ...

At this point, I'd like to blacklist my entire mailbox, and open it only
to those I want to allow in, either by sending an autoresponse (like
"hey, reply to this and i'll read your mail") , or some other method.

Is there a way to set this up in Evolution?

Thanks for the input.  Other than this list, and 2 or 3 other tech
lists, I don't get much mail (until recently).
