Someone (I thought it was you) mentioned that they don't have the mail on
the correct server to add filter patterns. Using the mailbox trick insures
that it is on the correct server. It puts all of the spam in one place so
you can look for commonalities.
The other purpose of it is to let the TF Viewer and it's built-in analyzer
look at the mail. (This is manual only in the sense that you have to push
the Analyze button, then the "Spam" action button(s), then the "Delete"
button!) The only problem is that I haven't finished the analzyer. (Well,
it's finished, but other parts are not; if I need to change something in the
filters, I have to write a program to do it. I don't think you guys are up
to doing that. :-)
I've been doing that manually for the last year; essentially find the
spammer's link domain, use Explorer to search for and then delete any other
messages containing that domain; and add the domain to the URL filter. It's
easy enough, but tedious. The analyzer automates all of that, except for
actually deciding what the real domain is. (It's too hard for the computer
to figure that out.)
