IMAP Spam Filtering

Spam Filtering
Hi all I've noticed that I'm now starting to get spams that ask for reading confirmation and it occurred to me that some users may unknowingly have their computers set to automatically reply to such requests, therefore giving the spammers confirmation of a bone fide email address. I have my system set up to prompt me before sending reading confirmations, but I wondered what the default TB action was and also if it was possible to set up a filter to ignore reading confirmations unless, say the sender was in your address book? -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.64.01 (Christmas Edition) and AGAVA 2.1.6 Release Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I don't know what TB's default setting is. I think ask before sending, but I've set it to ignore always. It is possible to create a filter that checks for reading confirmations. I don't know what the right header is, but you can set a read filter that checks whether the recipient is in your AB and checks for the presence of the appropriate header. With as action a read confirmation. -- Groetjes, Roelof If at first you don't succeed, you must be using Windows.

Spam Filtering
A few days ago someone had a question about spam filtering problems but it drifted off into a conversation about untrimmed replies, so I thought I'd raise it again. BayesIT had been working pretty well for me up until upgrading to the current TB version with the built-in plug-in. I tried to bring it up to speed by running through all my old junk mail as well as a collection of good mail, but it still wasn't catching much after about a week of operation and I was wondering what was wrong. I finally set my score greater than box to 5 out of 100 (!), and now things are looking up--it's catching maybe eighty percent of the spam with no false positives. But 5 seems an awfully low number to use, and I'm always checking for good mail showing up in my junk box. Am I doing something wrong or is this how it works? Will I be able to raise the score over time to give myself more peace of mind? And just what do those choices about Average, Maximal and Minimal really mean? I've fooled around with changing the settings but can see no difference in performance. -- Using The Bat!

The simplest and most effective spam filter is the Sherlock (process of elimination) method as originally suggested by Steve Lamb and explained by Allie Martin: - ---8 The easiest way to get rid of spam is by first excluding all mail that is legitimately for you and then simply considering the rest spam. With this method you hardly ever get legitimate mail ending up in the spam folder or spam ending up in the inbox. Order is important since TB processes filters from the top down. First create filters for all your regular legitimate mail. Then create a filter to place all other messages addressed to you in the inbox or some other created 'sundry' folder. Then create the spam filter, which should be the last filter in the list. Set it up to place the rest of messages that do not satisfy any of the other previous filter rules in a spam folder. Typically this will be: String: e, location: Kludges, Presence: Yes. With this setup I assure you that your inbox will be clean. Very few spammers address messages directly to you and that's the reason why this method works so well. If the message is not from x, y, z, etc or it's not addressed directly to me, then it MUST be spam. :) You can very likely add some general spam filters for spam messages addressed to you based on subject content. I would also recommend that you make use of the spamcop service http://spamcop.net. After a few months of use, incoming spam has dropped from five per day to one or two per week. When spammers realize that your address is one of those responsible for getting them kicked off their current ISP, they soon take it off the list! - ---8 - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

RE: Re[2]: Easier spam filtering
Title: RE: Re[2]: Easier spam filtering One easy way is to filer mail with your email address as the recipient. Another more advanced technique I am starting to make use of is to add my multiple email addresses to my entry in my address book. Since an address book entry can have multiple email addresses, this is handy. You can add this address to a Group and using the advanced filtering options filter all email whose recipient address is in your me Group to a special folder. This works slick, because it's easier to add new addresses to the Address Book list than to create a bunch of additional filter strings, at least for me :) Most spam does not have your actual email address in the To field. -Original Message- From: James Van Horn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 3:01 PM To: Jonathan Angliss Subject: Re[2]: Easier spam filtering Hi Jonathan, I don't understand.

Re[2]: Easier spam filtering
The Bat has so many things, but I feel more concentration on spam features is necessary. 1. The Bat needs a way to a import a large list of spam keywords and phrases. 2. Yahoo has a one click Block this sender feature. The Bat needs a one click This is spam feature. 3. A point system could be implemented. The Bat should count spam keywords, and tally up the points. Then automatically direct them into folders like: Inbox Possibly Spam Most likely Spam Spam Trash 4. All spam should be marked as read. I don't want to see the bat wings flying for incoming spam emails.

Spam filtering
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Is there any way to write filtering rules to only allow mail addressed to specific email addresses, and all others to be completely deleted - from server as well? I'm trying to figure out a good way to stop all the spam that arrives not even addressed to any of my email addresses (how does that happen, anyway?). It's bad enough trying to keep up with spam that somehow has my correct addresses, but it seems absurd that all this other stuff can get through at all. I'm new to using The Bat!, so perhaps I just haven't been able to find the filter that can do this. Any ideas? Thanks!

Melissa, most will do it by using two separate filters. The very last filter in your list should be labelled SPAM, and with that you do this: Strings: e Location: Anywhere Presence: Yes Move To: Trash The second to last filter is where you filter anything that has your address in it, and you can name it PERSONAL. Here you list all your addresses under Strings (only one though on the first tab, and the rest go under Alernatives/Add Set because it provides the or argument) as the Recipient, and leave the messages in the Inbox. After a while, if you feel confident that it's truly only scum sucking spam that is being filtered by your SPAM filter, then you can add Delete Message to the filter under the Actions tab. :o) - -- Nick -=N.J.
