dollar sign in subject

2001-12-18 Thread Wayne

 Every time any of you place a dollar sign ($) in the subject line, it gets
tossed into the deleted file here.
 This is due to the vast amount of spam being sent over the Internet.
 I dare say there are many more who have such a filter.
 It means that a number of your emails will not be seen by a number of us
out here.
 Suggest that you avoid such things in the subject line.

Every time any of you place a dollar sign ($) in the subject line, it gets
tossed into the deleted file here.

Those are pretty draconian filters you have. I can see filtering $$$
subject lines (as I do locally), but subject lines that contain $ should be
further analyzed for common spam language (money, free, order, etc.).
I set up the procmail filters at my local ISP, so we run through various
scoring rules to see how much a $ subject line should really be considered
spam.

Perl-wise, you may want to look at the following:

Wayne  Suggest that you avoid such things in the subject line.

Suggest that you get a smarter spam filter, or merely filter
to a likely spam box on something so marginal, and yet review
that box for false positives from time to time.

Don't make all of us change for you.  It won't happen.  You'll be the
sadder.  We'll be the wiser. :)

How about a dollar sign followed by numeric digit(s) as a spam rule?

 How well would that work?
 I use Outlook Express, due to the large number of email accounts I use for
assorted things...

 Just for the record, I have changed that filter, and set up one as per the
suggestion to use number and dollar sign.
 Trying to learn what to filter and what not to filter.
 Spam is hell...
