I finally have figured out how to set up fetchmail and maildrop to use SA to filter my messages. It only took a bunch of figuring out how email works, bouncing several hundred messages, losing contact with several listservers (probably due to the bounces) and a whole bunch of frustration with the lack of email. As a desktop hobbyist running Linux, it was a great learning opportunity.
But now, I need some better rules. I run RDJ with the MRDJ wrapper, and I have been running these based on the time they took to process mail. But that is not my concern anymore. I really want to run with near 100% clean. Right now I am more like 70% clean. I rather like the MRDJ way of updating, and I am not up for the custom method of writing my own rules, as I want to keep Linux a hobby until I am paid for it. Here are the trusted rulesets I am using: SARE_OEM SARE_GENLSUBJ SARE_GENLSUBJ_ENG SARE_CODING SARE_HEADER1 SARE_HEADER2 SARE_BML SARE_FRAUD SARE_SPOOF SARE_UNSUB SARE_RANDOM SARE_TOP_200 BOGUSVIRUS ANTIDRUG TRIPWIRE EVILNUMBERS SARE_SPECIFIC The spam I am missing can't be attached, as mail.apache.org is seeing this message as spam if I add them. But ingeneral, it is some of the male pills, some that have bizarre phrases and an HTML image, and some of the standard Rolex spams. I hope this message makes it. Rob
