I continually have key users forward spam (and some non-spam) to the spamseeder program... If nothing else this has given us a fairly good url blacklist which identifies a large portion of the usual offenders...

I open the some of the spam to try and find phrases I can filter out but those spammers are getting sneakier - the emails are short and to the point - and many don't use phrases we can safely filter. I downloaded the phraselist on IPSwitch's site and have since added many of my own phrases. It stops quite a bit and I get very, very few false positives... but we are pretty low volume compared to most of the list folks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Smith Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 2:19 PM To: Imail Forum Subject: [IMail Forum] Increasing number of spam I know this might not be a very difficult problem to figure out, but I just want to see if I'm missing something obvious. My spam filters in Imail are increasingly missing more and more spam. Is this just something that could be resolved by updating my phrase list or blacklist? Because I haven't really been on top of things on our email server lately (being the lone IT guy between two branches is kind of a lot to handle sometimes). If this is probably the case, where can I download the most recent spam phrase list and URL blacklist?
