Hello: One of my mailman mailing lists has been suddenly afflicted with tons of Chinese spam.
After reading an on-line discussion of this problem and how to handle it from a thread posted to this list in July of 2016, here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2016-July/080993.html I have modified my settings in Privacy Options/Spam Filters thusly: ^Subject: =?utf-8?B? ^Subject:.*\?{4,} from: .*@qq.com from: .*ebdoor.com from: .*126.com from: .*139.com from: .*136.com from: .*163.com from: .*193.com The "from" expressions have worked quite well, and using those I have cut the Chinese spam by over 90%, but I am still receiving periodic posts from other Chinese senders and I cannot keep adding more items to the "from" set for obvious reasons. Instead, as someone mentioned in that thread of July 2016, I find that all Chinese posts include the expression " =?utf-8?B?" following the word "Subject". Accordingly, I have included that in the first line of my Spam FIlter. However, it does not seem to be working as desired as I am still receiving Chinese spam containing that expression. >From that thread of July 2016, I have, today, added that second line above. Can someone here tell me what I have NOT done correctly with that first line which makes it NOT work as desired? Kenneth G.
