I'm trying to work out how to get round the latest spamming technique
of putting umlauts above various letters to confuse spam filters. rc.mail is an ascii file, so I can't just paste, say, and e-umlaut
into it.
OTOH, I've recently come up with a recipe which gets rid of a lot of spam:
:0 * ^Subject:.*\?[Ii][Ss][Oo]-8859* { LOG="ISO trick " :0 /dev/null }
This gets round the spammers' trick of writing the subject header as character codes. You can do similar ones for Big5 or whatever.
Hey d00d, thanks for the recipe. I notice in a lot of recipe's that line LOG="", does that simply write a line to the procmail log, or do I need a seperate logfile for those?
It just writes a comment to the procmail log. It's not necessary, but useful for finding if your latest recipe works.
It would be nice to watch out for those in a tail window using grep for the ="" contents like I do with mailfilter.
Cheers matey!
Oh, and your sig is driving me nuts, though I suppose it's been serving it's purpose, it got me reading about Chomsky and Topological Dependency Grammar...you are one nasty mofo. Redundant and contradictory at the same time...evil.
It's more Austin than Chomsky - Chomsky wasn't that interested in the things language does.
