Re[2]: Garbage filter(s)
This is a great idea! I went to do this, but can't find any information on creating a key macro other than the system hot keys. Can you point me in the right direction? I searched the help on Key and Macro, but didn't find anything that seemed to be what I should be looking for.

Garbage filter(s)
Is it better to have one filter per junk sender, or have one with many alternates? Also, in the Sender string, can I have just a segment of the email address (blah.com), or do i need the whole thing - @ and all? Or is there where regular expressions come in? Thanks...

One filter with many alternates is the best solution, less work and look neater and works just as fine as several filters. As the spammers changes their e-mailaddresses all the time, I prefer to filter on a domain basis. I look at the headers in the mail (Ctr-Shift-K), find the domain where the mail first originated, put this string into the Strings field, and select Kludges for location. You do not need the whole e-mailaddress and no regular expressions either. -- Best regards, Ottar Grimstad, Norway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.online.no/~ottgrims Using The Bat! 1.53d on Windows 98 version 4,10 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Another novel approach. In view of the fact that spammers change their addresses, do you find this system is working well for you? I must get 20-50 spam msgs daily on 4 accounts have been filtering in groups: sex, finance, travel, medical, etc. with specific text phrases. It gets most of them but there are always new ones, of course. None of them get deleted, just dumped into a SPAM Trash folder. Every once in while I look in there to see if they are all legit spam. Hasn't failed me yet. But I'm constantly looking for ways to improve ways to rid myself of this disgusting side of email. TIA -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!

I get few at home thanks to careful use of email addresses, As for the work ones (I've had the same email address for 8 years and, in the early days, used to post to Usenet without disguising the email address ... !), I get about 90% of them by a simple filter: email address, Recipient, No - Delete the message (as they do not have email address in the header) and putting all the filters for mailing list posts (the only other type of email with email address not in the header) _before_ that one, so all incoming emails from mailing lists are hived off to folders before the spam filter is hit. The other 10%, which _are_ sent directly to the email address, are not really possible to filter out without elaborate matches on subjects and so on. As life is too short for such poking around I delete them. (En passant, has anyone noticed that spam sent directly to the email address [in To:] is becoming more common? A year ago it was 1%, if that, of incoming spam).

I have been tempted to filter out the whole of jp but maybe someone the will send me real mail someday. I check the spam folder now and then, and I have never got legitimate mail from these domains. JR 2 could you use this msg as an example of which domain JR you would select to filter on? That was more tricky than most of the spam mail cc1862326-a - In think I would try this. -- Best regards, Ottar Grimstad, Norway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.online.no/~ottgrims Using The Bat! 1.53d on Windows 98 version 4,10 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
