Yes, it would be simpler, but Derek's way deletes the spam before it can be downloaded, so saving bandwidth. If you have got my POP library working, then the next step is to work out how your Rev program can tell what is spam and what isn't. I have a similar sort of thing running here but I key off the spam header that my ISP puts into all emails. Check the source of your incoming emails to see of there is anything like "X-Spam" or "X-Virus" which you can read from the headers.I'm not sure if it's been done by rev before. OTOH It might be simpler toThere's a pop library at http://www.troz.net/Rev/ that would probably serve your needs better than telnet.
That Library worked great. I'm trying to make a program that sits on my
taskbar and silently logs into a mail server every few minutes to scan my
email for SPAM. Then if it finds any it removes it so my mail client will
never see it.
Any idea if anyone else has done this type of thing in Revolution?
install a SPAM filter into your mail server and then just use a rule in your
mail client to delete mailes your SPAM filter has identified as SPAM.
If that is no good, you have two options: inclusive or exclusive filtering. Do you only allow known contacts to email you or do you maintain a list of key words or senders that identify spam for you? It's a tricky question and if you are deleting the emails before downloading, you will never know if you delete a genuine email.
Cheers, Sarah
