Hi all I have noticed an annoying problem regarding spam-address filtering.
If I'm not wrong, it seems that email address filtering is processed using the "from" email address extracted from the "Received:..." header tag. If that assumption is right, if I put into the spam-address.tab file any email address simply picked up from the "From:" header tag, any message coming from this email address will be filtered really out _only_ if that specific address is exactly the same one that we can find inside the "Received:.." header string. I try to be more clear :-) I have received one message containing these header strings (real domains substituted): - Received: from <- snipped out -> from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; - From: zzzzzzz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In that case, I had the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" email address in my spam-address.tab, but that email passed the filter anyway Many spammers do that: is there a way to both check the "Received:" and the "From:" email fields? it should be more restrictive. I hope to have been clear enough... Thank you in advance - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
