Do you ever get two spams from the same email address though? It
rarely happens because the from address is almost always fake. This is
useful on newsgroups for ignoring people, but less useful for spam. A
better idea is to pick some creative filters.
I have two filters:
A lot of spam mentions some supposed email bill, so this works nicely
1) Location: Text
String: Section 301
Presence: Yes
Move messages to: spam
Set colour to: brown
A lot of spam gets sent directly to my ISPs server, usually from
someone on a dial-up, using software that does DNS lookups on email
addresses and telnets into the destination server directly. These
emails will only have a single "Received" header usually. It excludes
email from my ISP which might legitimately only have one Received
header, and notifications about large attachments from The Bat.
2) Location: Kludges
String: ((?s)Received.*){2,}
Presence: No
and
Location: Sender
String: (.*freeserve.*)|(Bat)
Presence: No
Use regular expressions.
Action as above
