In my bicycle club, we have created a website less that a year ago and inserted the usual "write to us" envelope, which creates onclick a message in you default mail client with a standard subject line "[Abeille] demande d'information".
Fortunately, we decided that the messages going to this mail address would first be checked daily by a robot (Claris Emailer with a schedule a mail action and a script is this robot), which would check and redirect the messages to the president's work address for replies to people who want information or to join our club. FIRST remark: the website's address started receiving messages containing automated virus for the windows platform. The relaying includes the triggering system as an enclosure, thus making it safer to open on a windows box than the original. SECOND remark: this address is already overloaded with spam, all having two simultaneous characteristics: - They are HTML-only files - The standard subject line "[Abeille] Demande d'Information" created by the javascript on the webpage is no longer, replaced by whatever subject line the spammers elect to use. So far, I have added recently an html filter (received from a contributor to this list) to the mail action. It does beautifully the job and the relaying is limited to messages which are not pure html. Further, Claris Emailer strips as usual the messages from their html part and resends a text-only message. This filter is, so far, 100% effective (100% of the spam is filtered AND 100% of the relayed messages are non-spam). <http://abeille-cyclotourisme.chez.tiscali.fr/> Comments or advice would be welcome. -- Jean-Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
