Thunderbird - Reject Mail from Unknown People

If you use Thunderbird, here's an easy way to reject e-mails from people you don't know by setting up a filter:

Tools->Message Filters->New->(((Sender),(isn't in my address book),(Personal Address Book)),(Delete the message))

You can tweak it to reject people that you don't know, haven't spoken with, or automatically label the messages as spam.
