You need a separate filter for each spam address. So one filter would grab messages from "[email protected]" and forward them to Google abuse. Another for "[email protected]" would do the same. But ones for "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" would go to Yahoo abuse. And so on. And whenever you got sex spam from a new address, you create a filter for that. It can probably be at least partially automated. > I guess we could create a filter that if it has the word sex in > it, then it will forward it to the Google or Yahoo account abuse team, but > unfortunately, upon looking into it, neither google nor yahoo have email > addreses to report spamming accounts to, only their forms at > https://support.google.com/mail/contact/abuse?hl=en and > https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?y=PROD_MAIL_ML&token=w5FCchB1dWFBK0e02%252BwEytY5hQVPWez6jQXQpJKMKKRf3UfKsgwVjuIdkwxzjMBV%252Fs9wvFgBUOcj9Kvgqaaq8ToTSl%252F5NpfEjc5uXdSiOjUPoYfH611dctuQUsqgXsXNc75gmvOJSlLWPQ6YZTlgcdNL9DaBB%252FOU&locale=en_US&page=contactform&selectedChannel=email-icon&isVip=false > , You might be able to dump your spam into an iMacros (or whatever) browser script that completed those forms. > Dang, if only yahoo and google had an email adress to forward sappming > addresses to, then I suggested we could try create filters in our email > accounts to forward the spam emails to. What else could we do? Well, Google does -- [email protected] -- but staff monitoring it got tired of all my forwarded spam, and told me to use the form ;) But that's too much work. Maybe I'll see if I can script it. > On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 4:33 PM Mirimir <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 09/21/2018 02:42 PM, Keifer Bly wrote: >>> I do agree.
