he can have snifded the email from a lot of places, even the bats
mailing lists... All one has to do is extract those posts and scan
them,
Or sniff your isp and I can get email for anyone on line and if
wanted likely passwords as well.
There are even commercial spammer email sniffers around, read what
they claim they can do...

My mistake, but do dump your spam in one box and sort them in the bat
per option present.
You will see many other major common factors and thats what you should
filter on.
Filtering on specific spammers is a total waste of time.
However some spam mailers HAVE to say that its send by xxx where then
follows the spammer mailer.
So if thats present, its dead.
Some other list I got on by accident says its send by xxx and I
allowed it, and as I hate to communicate with them, I just kill them.
Sort per subject. Sort per sender and then check headers when they
show up 'blank'. you will see what I mean
FIRST you filter all your mail you get on a regular basis and make
folders for them, so that in theory all whats left is unknown mail or
infrequebt mail or spam.
It means your target for spam filters has less chance to hit real mail
as there is just less left.
By the way sender=receiver is about 5 % of my total spam but as I kill
about 90% it means its 50% of what I do get.
Then a few percent uses odd letters and numbers but you cannot filter
on it but lucky some use the sender=receiver as well.
One other thing one could filter on is if more then 3 words in a
subject are started with capitals as almost anything hit will be spam.
No idea how to do that either...
Best regards,
tracer
