Haven't set up rule but i am getting this spam All the time.
It appears that there's one for every message that's posted.
Yesterday, Jud
reported that he'd unsubbed that account, but that it had resubbed
itself.
He said he's working on it.
I can't read the language, so I don't *know* that it's spam -- it
might be
an Out Of Office reply?

It's not Spam as such, it is an autoresponder from a Romanian bank
telling the sender of an email that they will be back in touch as soon
as possible and that they should never give away passwords, pin number
or account details to anyone who phones or SMS texts them.
The list does use a 'Challenge/Response' system to approve new
subscriptions, but what I suspect is happening here is that the
challenge is replied to by the autoresponder, which the list server
takes to be a valid confirmation message and the address is re-
subscribed. LetterRip (the list server software) should have the
capability to blacklist a certain address - I'm a little surprised Jud
hasn't implemented that yet. I'm hopeful it will happen soon!
Regarding the effectiveness of rules to delete these messages, if you
have a MLM entry set up to handle list messages, you have to select
the option in the MLM entry to allow further rules to process the
messages as well - otherwise the rule processing will be terminated
after the MLM rule runs and the message will never be seen by your
anti-spam rule.
