Re[4]: Spamfilters - Mailwasher pro
Hello Jim, Have you tried Antispam Servant for TB? This filter works extremely well and there is no need in my opinion for a third party program to interface with TB. I have tried Mailwasher Pro and I found it's more work than it's worth. Antispam Servant resides within TB as a plug-in so it's transparent. Have a good one!:-) -- Best regards, Timmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 5:21:50 PM, you wrote: On Tuesday, July 17, 2007, at 5:14:03 PM, Code 2 wrote: I like Richard's blacklist solution for .pdf attachments, but I just can't risk a false positive on an important e-mail.

Spamfilters - Mailwasher pro
Hello tbudl, I'm looking into some anti-spam solutions MailWasher Pro looks like something useful but has one major flaw. If it can't be 'fixed' I wouldn't even want it for free... :P The problem is that I doesn't work as a proxy. I have to switch of auto mail checking in The Bat and let MailWasher do the checking. When done checking it can launch The Bat! If the Bat isn't loaded it successfully starts and does its 'check mail at startup' but The Bat! is always loaded on my PC. If The Bat is already open nothing seems to happen. However the solution might be I can add a command line option. Is there a command line option that forces a mail check? Something like: thebat.exe -CheckMailNow Besides of the above I would really appreciate some idea's for a good anti spam solution. I prefer proxy type of setups. I spend a lot of time with Baysian type of filtering but that didn't work out very well with the picture spam. I do prefer using those online anti-spam databases -- Best regards, Tony As long as we're going to reinvent the wheel again, we might as well try making it round this time.

SpamPal a bit better because of the RNBL (?) database. Both let me down with 'picture spam' I searched for hours on the SpamPal forum for regex rules. The picture spam with just a picture was fairly successful filtered. But the new generation picture spam with book quotes was/is a absolute disaster. And yes the RNBL access was slow. I don't know why. I'm using an about to expire demo of AVG internet suite. It's spamfilter is perfect! Unfortunately it costs $60/year and I only require the spamfilter part. I already have an other anti-virus tool for example. Perhaps SpamPal has just a bad choice of RNBL lists? And as you say it hasn't been updated for a year. I think it's almost 2 years now because I usally don't count beta releases. (but that just personal) Frankly I would care if it as 100 years old.

I use K9 as well, and I'm very happy with it. Just out of curiosity, I
recently tried the latest version of the BayesIt plug-in, but I got
tired of moving good emails back to their proper folders during the
initial training (got too frustrated with this, so I just removed it
and continued to use K9, which is now working at about 99.5% accuracy,
with no false positives).
I am not very willing to push my technologies, or to, god forbid,
impose them, but allow me please, all of you, to brag a bit again: ALL
the spam I have the rare honor, and a subtle pleasure, to give the Axe
to, to say so, even without downloading it, but just using TB's
Selective Download filters.
I may affirm too, that K9 is really fine and effective, but am just
wandering why people use any additional software for such purpose, when
TB already has very good filtering means.
Judging by TB's LOG, on my digital doors, and not so rarely on windows
as well, as at the doggy slot too, appears about at least 66% (or 2/3)
of a pure spam, coming to this address of mine, and about 66% (or 2/3)
of these 66% (or 2/3) are those of 30-40 KB with fat sick viruses
inside. Now, if I had to *download* all this [B]eautiful [S]tuff first,
and *then* to have it sorted out, I would probably end without a single
hair on(in?) my head, in few days, although I have it just for few
washings yet (as a friend of mine would have a habit to say, expressing
his worry, or a concern, about something he experiences as a wooly
situation, or as possibly such one).
To be honest, I still receive, here and there, one (1, Ein, uno) spam
message (the skinny one) per 2 or 3 days, in my Inbox, but it's only
because I didn't yet tighten my SD rules.
I had just one false positive, few months ago, when omitted to type my
own address correctly in a (n SD) filter rule. g
Actually, I praise here (using my limited {li|to}ngual inability) the
greatness of TB's filters. (-:

Mailwasher does and by sorting on IAW the status, the filtered messages are grouped ... I see. As I wrote in an earlier post, my method will probably not suit many people. I like to look at my messages chronologically. And I like to examine the headers on each one. Then I decide what to download and what to delete. Most of my mail is from the three TB! lists I'm subscribed to, plus tbot, plus a scattering of mail from family and personal friends. It's rare for me to have more than 100 mails at a time to look at--usually it's 20 to 50. It is rare for me to see a Spam or a suspicious virus-trojan looking mail among them. I have the time and the inclination to do it this way. I'm most grateful that The Bat! affords me this capability. When I get my mail filtered to its various folders, I still don't read by threads. I read the mail in each folder chronologically, oldest to latest. But that's just me. Everyone else's mileage obviously varies. And that's the beauty of The Bat!--it's so flexible, to meet a variety of different needs, and it works well with so many other good programs, like MailWasher. -- Best regards, Mary :Mary: The Bat! 2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Marck, Your SpamCop filters work great now. I've reported 32 spammers so far in just two days (should I be glad or sad? :) I haven't had any responses from ISP's yet. From what I understand, SpamCop will forward those to me. I was thinking that maybe I should use the comment field in the reports to inform the spammer that it was me who turned them in, and that they'd better take me off their mailing lists or I'll do it again. What do you think? They might bombard me with hate mail instead :) In closing: Whenever spamcop.bat is run, it leaves a DOS window on my screen that has to be closed manually.

Re[2]: SPAM filter with The Bat (Mailwasher program)
Hi Marck, All such bounce messages do, no matter how well intentioned or formed, is inform the spammer that the message got through. Oh boy.. Thanks for the enlightenment!! :) I'm now trying those Spamcop filters from the TB FAQ, but I'm not sure if they work as intended. Here's what I found: - Shouldn't the first stage filter (that creates a spam submission message) be set to manual only? Wouldn't it otherwise automatically respond to any incoming message that fulfills the criterion of having a '.' in its kludges? Of course the Ctrl-Alt-S trigger is also set, but I don't know if that will override automatic execution.. - The file to export to (C:\TEMP\EXPORT.TXT) was set correctly when I pasted the filter into the sorting office, but the Export to File action itself was not activated. Also, append to existing file was set, which I think will inadvertently report any previously sent spam along with the current spam message. I've changed that into overwrite. The export format was Text, is that alright? The quote kludges was Off, and I've turned that on. I hope I made the correct changes (and if so, maybe the author of the filter should update this FAQ section?). I'm using TB 1.60q.

Re[2]: SPAM filter with The Bat (Mailwasher program)
Hi Matthias, MA Ehm. Someone else already mentioned (maybe on the german mailing MA lists) that this problems are caused by some unwanted linebreaks on MA the faq page. Oops - that makes sense. I don't know why I didn't notice! I'll try again without the linebreaks and see how I fare.. Your name sounds German, so you may be a frequent user of Umlauts. Can I ask you a question? When I try to enter a high-ascii character using Alt-nnn, the Bat doesn't enter the character but instead performs all sorts of system functions (menu's pop up, etc). Do you know of a way to turn this off?

Re[2]: SPAM filter with The Bat (Mailwasher program)
Hi Marck, MDP Nope. You done good! The How to says to use Ctrl-V. Actually, I just MDP tried it and it's completely hit and miss! Matthias' hint about the broken lines on the website was right on target - I've got the filters working now. However, I had to make a small change to the second stage export template for the spamcop.bat file. I turned the part where you check for http://\S*; into http://spamcop.net/sc\S*;. The reason is that Spamcop's confirmations to me contain several instances of http://;, and the first one (that the template catches) leads to a page with an offer to upgrade my Spamcop account to a paid one.. Here's what it said: PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THIS SERVICE! SpamCop is free. However, if you like the service please pay for it: http://spamcop.net/upgradeaccount.shtml?EWmxUXyY13zmNWJo SpamCop is now ready to process your spam. Use links to finish spam reporting: http://spamcop.net/sc?id=z40442472ze7b89484a95a9a956b620bf34c203bbdz So, the export filter didn't catch the right URL and sent me to the upgrade offer instead (which I may well take later on).
