On Sun, Oct 10, 200411:56 AM, the following words from Michael Tsai [EMAIL PROTECTED], emerged from a plethora of SPAM ...
>SpamSieve's log will say why it made that prediction for this message. >Order confirmations often have spammy characteristics, so it's best to >train SpamSieve with any saved ones that you have ahead of time, so >that it will learn to identify them. I don't use SpamSieve, but I think it handled the OP's message correctly. Every day I receive messages that say in the subject that it is an order confirmation, or other topics that appear legit but turn out to be stuff for ordering adult stuff, prescriptions, mortgage loans and cheap software. Spammers are trying to get people to check out the email by any deceptive means they can. I have set up a PM filter to handle order confirmations from known vendors. Once in a while, the spammers manage to get accepted by my known vendor filter, so I just use the information in the deceitful message to update my filters. I do the same when new vendors haven't been added to my filters or known vendors make changes in the messages they send. No matter what you do, there will always be cause to continually inspect messages and the filters set to handle them so they can be updated to handle the spammers who continually try to befuddle our filters. cheshirekat -- If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
