I'll chime in on the subject too. I've finally managed to get the spam in Chinese under control on my system, but for a while I really wished Message Sniffer has language based filters. I.e. Result 40 Chinese Result 41 Cyrillic Result 42 Spanish Result 43 Germain
We could then turn on or off the languages we didn't want. >From my foray with dealing with Chinese, it certainly much easier said than done. >Chinese was doable, I've had no luck stopping my Spanish spam. Then again, you might be better at it than I. <<< [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/19 9:52a >>> On Thursday, August 19, 2004, 10:11:45 AM, Jorge wrote: JA> Michiel Prins wrote: >>Can't you use the content filter of your mail server to detect if the >>charset is used? >> JA> I've tried, but it's not 100% effective.... I recall the earlier conversations about this. We have not had a lot of call for generally blocking foreign character sets so that project has not received much attention. Another issue with this is that many of our customers are not in the US and so defining "foreign" is often problematic. We can more easily establish local black rules for you. When you have an example of a character set you would like to block, please send us a note to support@ with your license ID in the subject line and the words "Local black rule please" Explain in your note that you want us to block the character set(s) in the message. Attach the message to your note. We will verify your license ID and then create local black rules for the character sets we find in the message. Over a short time this should have the effect you are looking for. Hope this helps, _M PS: We do filter "foreign" spam that is submitted to us at spam@ using the same rules that we follow for other messages. That is, we don't treat them as "foreign" - only as spam in general. Russian spam in particular has rapidly become heavily obfuscated - though there are usually patterns that can be found to block the messages. This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
