I've accumulated a black and white list of words that are found within the subject or body of a message that, for my purposes, guarantee spam.
Is there a simple way to import a list of words (preferably in reg-expression format) to automatically black or whitelist the email?
For example, if the subject has Viagra in it, then I'm comfortable with trashing it immediately. However, if the body mentions specific hobby-related words that I receive on a regular basis from various mailing lists and individuals, then I definitely want to keep them.
I've successfully created a rule within my userprefs file and assigned it a high value, but I'd hate to create hundreds of these just for my custom list. It seems like there ought to be a file somewhere to associate lists of words, similar to the whitelisting on the email addresses. Maybe I'm just missing it.
Thanks, Zack
AFAIK there's nothing simpler than writing a custom rule to do this. There's no "blacklist_word" or other command of the type.
SA was originally developed because of the FP problems with "one work block" filters. Since this is fundamentally contrary to the concept behind the creation of SpamAssassin in the first place, it would be strange for it to have such a feature.
Not to say that you're outright wrong-headed to do it that way, but it is completely against the concept of SpamAssassin, and thus no surprise that SA doesn't have shortcuts to make doing it easier.
With all the bayes poison going around, it's hard to say that "whitelist_word" would be useful at all.
