Dear Bats Here is a regex spam filter folks might find useful
It picks up emails addressed to a whole bunch of people with the same starting letter or the same domain, eg in my case something like. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..... or [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..... Does this for several formats of this type of addressing. Change the first letter and suffix to suit yourself. Clearly if you regularly get genuine emails with loads of consecutive recipients in the same domain you may want to drop that latter part or increase the number of recipients required. Picks up about 10% of my spam For those who down know, select the whole text below and paste into your filters (after changing the letter "a" to your letter, and the "btinternet" to the bit after the @ in your email address.
