Had to check to make sure it was really you and not some impostor, and
sure enough there you are still on the internet! Glad to hear the site
is still popular, it's still the original.
If your host allows you to configure Spam Assassin through your web site
Control Panel, (Plesk, Cpanel, Hsphere etc.) Spam Assassin can "rewrite"
the subject line of the message for you. Then it's a simple matter of
creating a message rule in your email client to filter on the subject
line that has your special rewritten extra filtering word included.
Look for a place in the SA config that says: rewrite_header subject and
put something like "Possible Spam" or "SPAMy" in it and Save.
As an example, in Outlook Express to create a message rule the steps
are:
Tools > Message Rules > Mail > check Where the Subject line contains
specific words > check Move it to the specified folder > click in Step
3. 'contains specific words' > type your SPAMy word > Add > Okay > click
in Step 3. 'specified (folder)' > New Folder > spam > click spam > OK >
click in Step 4. and give it a name > OK > Apply Now > Apply Now >Close
> Okay.
Once a day look through your email client "spam" folder and delete en
masse.
