Both of those are overstatements. If you look at SPAM mail headers,
you find all sorts of patterns. Some are actually addressed properly
to you. Others have a different To: and From: address, neither of them
legitimate. I've seen only a small number with identical
sender-receiver addresses.
I've also noticed that a large amount of SPAM mail emanates from
certain domains, usually free mail services, and oftent has the To:
address set to a free mail domain or a bogus domain.
The problem with The Bat! in this regard is that there is apparently
no clear way to filter on the To: address. If you could put a list of
common free mail domains to be rejected if they appear in the To:
header, that would go a long way. The Bat! kill filter interface has
something called *routing* which I thought would serve this purpose,
but my experiments show it does not. So my question is, What is this
*routing* filter supposed to look for?
