Seems like if there was a wildcard character we could use in the filter files then you could do
HELO 8 CONTAINS -*-
MAILFROM 8 CONTAINS -*-*@
Assuming * was our wildcard then that would do it no? But since * is valid in an email you’d have to do ** I suppose if you wanted to actually look for a * or a wildcard that isn’t a valid email character. A % seems like a good candidate since we hold those anyways even tho they are valid characters in emails.

Kami, I totally agree, I think this would be a very good test.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] dashes in domains
Hi;
It seems like with all the spammish domains being taken now more & more we see domains with lots of dashes..
Double dashes!
- @ADULT---WEB-CAM.COM
- @CHINA--V.COM
- @girls--panties.com
Single dashes!
- @home-loan-quotes-direct.com
- @horny-wild-girls.us
- @u-need-1nk-we-th1nk.com <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- .2-buy-drugs-online4sale.com
- .best-adult-mail.com
- .best-offers-found-here.com
- .cheat-on-my-husband.com
- .come-n-get-me.com
- .cut-to-the-chase.com
- .daily-specials-daily1.com
- .daily-specials-now.com
- .debt-consolidation-direct-online.com
- .direct-online-sales.com
- .dont-miss-this-deal.com
- .drug-store-4-now.com
- .fast-quotes-direct.com
- .fix-the-computer.com
- .for-your-credit.com
this is just a simple querry of our database
& many more as I am sure you agree...
What if?
a test that we can give weight on number of dashes in a domain? I am yet to see companies with more than one dash.. I can even go as far as two dashes but any company with more than 2 dashes in their domain is somehow looking at a marketing issue since giving that address to anyone is just too difficult.
I am sure in this group of all admins we can do a good review of domains and see if this observation makes any sense.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Kami
