The latest interim version of Declude has a command that can be used in a filter file that catches most if not all nigerian messages. It can also be used to catch stock, lottery, and diploma spam messages depending upon the contents of the filter file. I told Scott (of Declude) that I would give other users a good filter file that uses the command when the interim is upgraded to a release level. However, since the interim is still at a July 23rd date if someone is running the interim and wants to know more about the command, e-mail me off list and I'll supply you with a good nigerian filter using that command. All you'll need to do is add the test to your config files and modify the weights in the filter file to fit your weighting system. Greg This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
