I've been running a simple procmail filter to get rid of spam from some specific sites. The sample below only includes a few of the addresses, but even with the whole list it's no longer very effective. Last weekend I decided to tune it up to filter out more of the spam. I added the last three rules below. Out of the next batch of 116 emails, these rules eliminated 116. That's right - all the babies got thrown out with the bath water. Of course, I've commented out the new rules until I debug them.
If someone has a non-risky way to test procmail rules, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Of course, if you see what I've done wrong I'd like to hear that too. - Jim Van Zandt :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 65536 .msgid.cache :0 * ^From:.*(assetmanagement.net|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|moreorders.com|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED])|^Subject:.*\$\$\$|^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |egrep '^(Subject|From|To):' >>Mail/junkheaders :0 B # recognize junk mail by content * (so dilghted when i|This game is my first work.) /dev/null :0 H # recognize junk mail by subject ^Subject: (ADV:) /dev/null :0 H # foreign language junk mail * charset=.ks_c_5601-1987. /dev/null ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
