I very much want Imail filters to work. The message that got through
on mine yesterday had a blank From: field. There were no characters
beyond the ':' character at all. Only the log showed an address but
not the message header. I have no idea how this would be accomplished
unless only the telnet login was giving a from address?
The regular Imail rules filter here is very unreliable. I have spent
the last month trying to filter all spam here that I see. It has been
reduced but about 30% of the filtering simply does not work. I have no
idea why. I gave the example earlier:
B~FFA NET:SPAMBOX
B~FFA Site:SPAMBOX
B~www.ffanet.com:SPAMBOX
B~ffa net:SPAMBOX
This morning I had 10 messages that contained the above content that
arrived in my personal mailbox. During a month of attempting to filter
this existing source of spam, I have blocked about 10% of this sources
messages.
