[WhatsUp Forum] What are some rules to use for cleaning up SPAM

[Shaun P. Carlson]

“I’m looking for a few good rules…”   Actually, I’m working on developing a set of rules for our organization to help filter out some of the SPAM which our users receive on a seemingly daily basis.  I’ve modified and used some of the examples from the knowledgebase on the Ipswitch site.  Additionally, I have developed some of my own rules to help filter out some of the incessant SPAM.   My questions are as follows.   - Does anyone have some rule examples from which I could further develop my rule set?   - Are there are good generalized rules to help filter SPAM which may not meet the specific criteria laid out in a custom rule?   - Does anyone know of a good source for some common SPAM tactics (from which I may be able to extend my rules)?   - Finally, is there a good way, or even a way, to filter out emails from a specific, known-SPAM mail server?  This last question is particularly pertinent since most of the online resources for blocking SPAM (i.e. lists, such as Mail Abuse Preventions Systems Real-time Black Hole List, etc…) are based on DNS entries.   Thank you all in advance for your assistance!   s   -- Shaun P.
