Hello Peter, Thursday, November 13, 2003, 9:23:08 PM, you wrote (possibly edited): I receive this kind of spam too. I don't know, if there's a way of filtering it in The Bat!, but I'm doing fine with K9, which is based on bayesian learning ( http://keir.net/k9.html ). I get three such messages per day. My ISP's spam filter doesn't catch them. The filter that I finally came up with relies on (a) the presence of my email address as recipient and (b) the absence of my email address in the Reply-To field. For the time being I move these messages to a Spam folder and I review-delete them daily. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Recently I began being plagued with spam that has this particular feature: The sender's name is random, but the sender's address is my own email address. I would like to filter and send these emails direct to the Trash folder. I tried creating a filter using in Kludges .*myemailaddress Presence = Yes and Reply-To: .*myemailaddress Presence = No I also already have a filter below it that moves email to a PossibleSpam folder, as follows: myemailaddress Presence = No Please note that I would like to maintain the ability of sending emails to myself(!). To summarise: How do I send to the Trash folder an email said to be addressed from me and sent to me, where the Reply-To address is *not* my own? But also I do not want to disturb an existing filter that sends to a specified folder any email where the receiver's email address is *not* my own. -- Best regards, Costas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Costas, Recently I began being plagued with spam that has this particular feature: The sender's name is random, but the sender's address is my own email address. I would like to filter and send these emails direct to the Trash folder. It is best to use POPFile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/), or a similar Bayesian classification program, to classify SPAM and NO-SPAM. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hi Costas, on Thu, 13 Nov 2003 20:48:30 +0200GMT (13.11.03, 19:48 +0100GMT here), you wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : CP Recently I began being plagued with spam that has this particular CP feature: The sender's name is random, but the sender's address is my CP own email address.

There are other tools like PopFile or BayesIt that work similarly. I haven't tried them as I'm quite happy with K9. No false positives after a very short learning period, and only very few false negatives every now and then... ;-) Overall statistic accuracy as of now: 97.3% after 1,263 processed messages. -- Cheers Peter Sex is never the answer.

CP Recently I began being plagued with spam that has this particular CP feature: The sender's name is random, but the sender's address is my CP own email address. I would like to filter and send these emails direct CP to the Trash folder. This works for me: 1. In your new message, reply, and forward templates, create a custom header field such as X-Junk and insert any text you want such as roses are red, violets are blue 2. Set up an incoming filter that sends to trash any message where (1) the sender's address is your e-mail address and (2) the kludges do _not_ contain X-Junk: roses are red, violets are blue. 3. Spams like this will go right to the dumper. Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MM It is best to use POPFile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/), or a MM similar Bayesian classification program, to classify SPAM and NO-SPAM. I disagree. Keep it simple. No external program or plug-in is necessary to solve this particular problem. The simplest and quickest solution is a filter such as the one in my previous post. %SETHEADER(X-Junk,roses are red, violets are blue) If the incoming mail is from your address, but doesn't have the above in the kludges, use a filter to send it to trash. This filter has been picking off 100% of these spams for me. Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
