Ah. sadly we have winblows here and outhouse so spam will get modified as i forward it. i do have several unused mailboxes which fill with spam quite a bit and i tried to submit a mailbox full which i checked to be all spam to razor and it seemed to work, with a few perl errors here and there as it found a strange message or something.
is there anyway to view the status of your account with which you submit with? like i've submitted 300 messages and 5 were new spam and the rest we're already there... -----Original Message----- From: Chip Paswater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 4:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] (semi)automatic Razor reporting options? anyone done it like thi s before? > my problem is how would i deal with the FW: on the front of messages etc? > perhaps i should write a little script that munges the mailbox and removes > the FW: and the few extra lines in each message and the >'s that get > created. As far as razor goes, subject lines don't matter, so don't worry about appended FW or RE in your subject lines. However, the body of the message should be untouched. Don't try to strip out ">" or whatever, because it's highly unlikely you'll be able to return the message to it's original composition. Instead, try to forward or "bounce" the message unedited.

That's called a spamtrap, and razor frowns on your auto-submitting spamtraps to them (as do other services like Spamcop). The best way to keep everyone happy is to human-review everything before you submit it. I maintain a spamtrap. It gets about 300 spams per day, and I submit them in batches after I've taken a look at them to make sure there's nothing collateral in there, and occasionally something DOES sneak in that is not spam. In fact, Spamcop turned off their "quick" reporting feature because too many people were reporting the latest Microsoft virus emails as spam. I can only assume this was a direct result of too many people "auto" submitting emails that came into their spamtrap. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
