Cool How would you do .............?
\nfrom: "?Target Bank <except when> the email address is <@targetdomain.com> (which will be validated by SPF already) It's a small amount of text to test and won't be a huge list of domains to test against so CPU won't hurt too much. You're quite right about most spam having multiple mistakes, that's why I like to use scoring so it takes at least two mistakes to trigger. That gets 99.9% but it's that other 0.1% I'm after. People don't mind getting the odd v14gra spam sneak thru (Some of mine have complained because they aren't getting them) but imho they will measure the quality of yours/our/my work on our performance against the scammers.

Spammers often doing alot of other mistakes - try to setup the early checks (helo, black domains, ip blocking, sender validation) , spf and penaltybox in a way to catch the spam. If this is not possible - in your case - use bombHeaderRe. \nfrom: "?Target Bank or (more CPU intensive) \nfrom:\s*"?\s*Target\s+Bank Thomas Von: "Bob Berryman" <b...@sanlogan.com> An: "'ASSP development mailing list'" <assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net> Datum: 03.11.2011 09:28 Betreff: Re: [Assp-test] Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: changes in assp 2.1.2 build 11306 Hey Thomas I am totally impressed with how responsive you've been and how awesome this software is. I started five years ago with ASSP but this is my first experience with v2x and it's a whole new animal. Now being cheeky with another thought, anticipating the next move by the scammers, If we could test the name part of the from header, ie FROM: "Target Bank" <someb...@someotherdomain.com> with a regex we would just about have them screwed :-) Cheers.............Bob -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Eckardt [mailto:thomas.ecka...@thockar.com] Sent: Thursday, 3 November 2011 8:58 p.m. To: ASSP development mailing list Subject: [Assp-test] Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: changes in assp 2.1.2 build 11306 >So why isn't strictSPFRe applying here ? yes - incase of strictSPFRe spfValencePB should be used.
