I went around this a couple weeks ago and have been playing with the suggestions since then. They do not work.
Given: Spam Filter imbedded in Firewall/AV/Spam commercial software detects what it thinks is spam and adds an 'X-found-spam' to the headers. Mailing Lists can set the "To:" field to either your personal email address or to the Group List email address The "From" address can be the original poster or the List address There is usually a "Reply To" containing the List address or the Reply-to is at least the original sender if not a list. The tag of 'spam' could be a false positive IF you already know the sender Problem: Without the ability to check the header field 'Reply-To' matching it to a known AB entry I can not isolate the tagged email as truly spam. Because: AB Contains Sender could be unknown user of known email list AB Contains First Recipient Spammer sends spam-email straight to ME. I am in AB as known Reply-To can not contain my email address FROM the Spammer (usually) The filtered email, containing the X-Header with the word spam is then either truly tagged as spam and handled by THAT filter or it is handled by the False-Positive action and forwards to the software programmers out of courtesy so they can adjust their software accordingly. Help please. Or admit we need to be able to examine AB against Reply-To field and it's variants. -- Regards, Robert D. :flag-us-ky: _________________________ The Bat!
