 Hello Daniel Grunberg,

 1.  Copy the subject line of one of the foreign character emails.

 filtering by subject in any language unless some idiot is insisting
 will not be effective as general spam filter.


I am no idiot.

You quoted me out of context.  The question I quoted and then answered
specifically had to do with filtering foreign-fonted messages.

Re[2]: Ready made Spam filter

2002-04-04 Thread Jon Lawrance

Hello Marcus,

Thanks for those filters, I will almost certainly use them.

What about all the foreign character rubbish I get?

For example, I have several with subject lines as follows:

[±¤°í]ÁÖ½ÄÅõÀÚÀÚ ½Ç½Ã°£ ÁÖ°¡¿¹ÃøÇÁ·Î±×·¥ ź»ý !!

Each is slightly different but they are all unreadable.

Anyone else get this type of spam and what method do you use to get rid of it?

MO All filter are easily importable and exportable through the sorting
MO office copy/paste capabilities. To export a filter, mark it and hit
MO ctrl-c then paste it in a text editor. To import another filter, for
MO example my spam filters submitted below, copy all text and paste them
MO into the sorting office.

 I have already set up an address book called Spam and then a filter
 to avoid those addresses in future. But I think I need another to
 get rid of the obvious junk.

MO I use three filters, one that filter on certain words like teen, porn
MO and so forth, another to filter on certain patterns (4 spaces in a row
MO in the subject line or 4 digits in a row in either the subject och the
MO senders address) and a third, placed above the two others, to stop TB
MO from filtering messages with certain words. The first two filters does
MO not filter messages from addresses in my address book.

MO I do not argue that these filters are perfect, but they does suite my
MO needs, they pick about 95% of all the spam I get. Unfortunately, they
MO do filter about one message a month which should not get filtered. I
MO suppose that's hard to avoid :-(

MO This filter will however not work if you keep your address book with
MO addresses to avoid, since they never take actions on mails from known
MO senders.

MO Before you copy/paste the filters below, make sure to edit the folders
MO to suite your setup. Place them in the same order that I have done in
MO this mail.

Re[2]: Ready made Spam filter

2002-04-04 Thread Roberto Machorro

The best results I've had with my spam filtering is to actually create
a folder per group or subject (clubs, relatives, work, e-news, etc.).
I have a folder for each mailing list, project, etc., if it doesn't
fall into any of those categories, filter it against your AddressBook,
then make sure you are the recipient.

Make it so directly targeted that all that's left is most probably
spam, as a side benefit you have a very organized e-mail repository.

Might be overkill for some, but at least I don't have to deal with
spam anymore, it's the best mail filter I've used.

MO this mail.

I thought the filters weren't held in an editable file. Where (what
file) do I paste the attached filters into?

Also ... how do you add spaces to the set in a filter list. If i use
the space bar (or the ALT number), the filter won't save it. If I
could filter say 5 contiguous spaces in the subject, I would get rif of
90% or more of the spam that DOES make it through.

TIA
