True, but for HTML spam (which most is) very important information is lost and thus only a fraction is reported. (see the warning Spamcop always gives for plaintexted HTML) Only the open-relay and hopefully origin can be retrieved from the headers; all contact information for the spammer (web addresses, email addresses) cannot be retrieved, and thus the spammer's means of potential profit cannot be blocked! > As for purely html msgs, there was a discussion a > while back, the bottom line of which, was that TB! > %HEADERS doesn't include what someone labeled the > 'lower' headers that includes html info. I'm unsure what those 'lower' headers would be? It seems to me like the only thing necessary is that the message source (as given by F9) should be passed instead of the plaintext... --Elwin -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Re: Auto Responding to SpamCop
Unfortunately, this method doesn't include HTML mail but only the ascii interpretation; as such the HTML cannot be parsed which limits the usefulness for Spamcop :-/ --Elwin On Monday, January 14, 2002, 5:24:22 PM, Jan wrote: > Hello Bat Folk. > There's been a fair amount of traffic on how to > automate a reply to SpamCop w TB!

Edit at will, then: Tools- Import messages- from .MSG After this operation finishes succesfully, of course delete the old message to avoid duplicates... --Elwin -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Re[2]: Hi & Bat Spamcop forwarding question
Hi Luc, Thanks for your reply. I did indeed set up the filtering like this (except for the strings to filter on, but of course that shouldn't affect the format of the forwarded messages). Unfortunately, the forwarded messages ONLY contain the headers (as I can see in the sent messages folder). This looks like a bug to me, but odd that it does work for you (as you are also using 1.53d)! --Elwin On Saturday, January 12, 2002, 5:58:44 PM, Luc wrote: > Now select the Actions tab and check: > Marck the message as read (optional)[1] > Forward to > SpamCop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > also check "include kludges in text" > Now select the Options tab: > In the "Send generated message" options area select "Immediatly" -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Hi & Bat Spamcop forwarding question
Hi, I'm Elwin, I just joined though I've already been using TB for quite some time. Like many folks here (I believe) I've switched from Pegasus to TB after Pegasus couldn't handle everything I'd like to do... Anyway, my question is this: when I autoforward messages I know to be spam to Spamcop, TB (1.53d, Win2000) usually ONLY sends the headers when I check "Include full headers". I've tried about all settings in the filter action (forwarding, redirecting, with or without MIME) but it just won't work. Does this sound familiar, and is anybody doing this succesfully?
