Please note, if you are going to reply to this message, reply back to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and not to the newsgroup, as the only newsgroup I frequent is netscape.public.mozilla.ui. I sent this message on to the three other newsgroups who this concerns.
I have put together some filters which should block at least 80-95% of spam. I hope it BLOCKS all spam, but thats just hopefulness. It uses Mozilla mail's filters, and it has several actual filters, each with their own subfilters/rules. In this way its "modular" (actually not really, just more customizable) in that if you actually subsribe to say "porn mail" you can turn off the set of filters that targets porn mail. I was disappointed that the filters did not allow me to scan the complete headers, however I think my "filter package" is ready for use. I've named it "SpamSlayer", and it needs an easy installer package. Since its a ruleset, it goes in the mail folder, located in slightly different paths on different computers. Usually its something like: c:\windows\application data\mozilla/profiles/default user/(random string).slt/mail/(server IP address (don't know if this is the pop3 or smtp, since both of mine are the same)) If someone could setup an installer that could find this dynamic location and replace the current ruleset with the SpamSlayer ruleset, or even better, APPEND the SpamSlayer ruleset to the current one (so current filters aren't overwritten and lost). If someone could setup an installer that could find this dynamic location and replace the current ruleset with the SpamSlayer ruleset, or even better, APPEND the SpamSlayer ruleset to the current one (so current filters aren't overwritten and lost). In addition a folder named "Possible Spam" (I can provide the files which make up the folder) must be created in the Local Folders folder. Unforetuneately, an XPI does not seem to have the capibilities to do what I need. The instructions for making one were also very confusing. Can anyone help me and make an installer for me? I can provide all the files. In addition, I might release updated versions of the package in the future, so a "package maker" would be the best sort of thing. -- -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Ben Franklin Visit and bookmark my website!
