Hi, I use the "List of non-member addresses whose postings will be
automatically discarded” feature a ton. In the past you have helped me to
figure out the correct expressions to use to discard emails from the following:
1) The whole email (no help needed, this one is obvious).
2) Addresses that begin with X. I say “^phrase” and that does the trick.
3) Domain names. I use the method Mark showed me years ago, which is (for
example): ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?energydatagroup\.net$
I was later told there was an easier version of this, but this works
and I just cut and paste anyway.
Now I need one more. Addresses that end in X. For example, I get TONS of
attempted posts to one of my lists from the top level domain top. They’re 100%
spam and the domain names are completely different and random. Nothing I tried
works. I haven’t kept track of all my attempts so I can’t tell you what they
are. My latest failure is: ^[^@]+@(.*\.)*\.top$
Note that I have researched this and read sites on regular expressions and
still could not make heads or tails of it.
If I can get this working, I will be able to eliminate a lot of spam because
there are so many that come from fake (or at least not legit) top level
domains. .site, .win, and so on.
Can anyone give me the correct formula?
And can a future update to Mailman give us listowners more tools for this
feature? I shouldn’t have to know regular expressions to be able to get rid of
spam. Apple Mail, for example, lets you choose the type of match it is (starts
with, ends with, contains); I have tons of spam direction rules that filter by
top level domain (ends with .top).
Thanks!
Cyndi
