I was having the same problem as you and I came up with these filters that seem to work for me. UNKNOWNUSERF filter e:\imail\declude\unknownuserf.txt x 0 0 BRACKETFL filter e:\imail\declude\bracketfl.txt x 0 0 BRACKETFR filter e:\imail\declude\bracketfr.txt x 0 0 ACSMAILF filter e:\imail\declude\acsmailf.txt x 0 0 NEVERSENTF filter e:\imail\declude\neversentf.txt x 0 0 unknownuserf - SKIPIFWEIGHT 50 BODY 0 CONTAINS unknown user BODY 0 CONTAINS user unknown bracketfl - returned messages should have the original headers so I'm looking for the beginning of an IP address SKIPIFWEIGHT 50 BODY 0 CONTAINS [1 BODY 0 CONTAINS [2 BODY 0 CONTAINS [3 BODY 0 CONTAINS [4 BODY 0 CONTAINS [5 BODY 0 CONTAINS [6 BODY 0 CONTAINS [7 BODY 0 CONTAINS [8 BODY 0 CONTAINS [9 bracketfr - looking for the end of an IP address SKIPIFWEIGHT 50 BODY 0 CONTAINS 0] BODY 0 CONTAINS 1] BODY 0 CONTAINS 2] BODY 0 CONTAINS 3] BODY 0 CONTAINS 4] BODY 0 CONTAINS 5] BODY 0 CONTAINS 6] BODY 0 CONTAINS 7] BODY 0 CONTAINS 8] BODY 0 CONTAINS 9] acsmailf - contains the IP and name of my outgoing mail server (obviously substitute yours), if the message contains one of these values it is possible the message did originate here. SKIPIFWEIGHT 50 BODY 0 CONTAINS 12.4.184.4 BODY 0 CONTAINS mail.acsworld.com neversentf - if the message was about an "unknown user" and had header records, but they were not from my mail server, then it didn't come from my mail server so we add 40 to the weight. We delete on 40 weight. SKIPIFWEIGHT 50 TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS acsmailf TESTSFAILED 40 CONTAINS unknownuserf bracketfl bracketfr If anyone is interested, our newest nigerian filter is available for download at http://www.acsworld.net/declude/nigerianf.zip . It's a work in progress but it seems to catch some scam messages everyday.
