Hello. I am new to this mailing list, having just subscribed.
The welcome message did not include how to post to the list, so I am hoping that I have sent this message to the correct address. The web page for SQWebMail, at www.inter7.com, did not include a link for help or documentation, for clients or users of the SQWebmail interface, to explain how to do things to get wanted results. I am currently using an ISP that uses SQWebMail for its web mail interface. I use the interface for mail filtering at the ISP level, to weed out spam, to minimise spam that is downloaded, as we are currently using a dialup connection, and at one stage, we were receiving about 300 spam messages an hour, on average. The spam rate has dropped back down to about 1000 per day, over the last couple of weeks. Whilst we now have an ADSL account, we have had to retain and keep using the dialup account, as the ADSL ISP does not have continual mail filtering, that is provided by SQWebMail. I use a number of filters in SQWebMail, to filter out spam and viral messages, and the criterion that I mostly use for the spam, is the subject field. Many of these messages, I send to the Trash folder. The last filter that I use, filters non-plain-text messages, which I save in a spam folder, that I have to manually check, to retrieve messages that are not spam. I get about 1% false positives (messages that are filtered as spam, but are not spam), with the filters that I have been using. I cannot find how to filter messages that have a null value (blank field) for the Subject field. I currently get a few hundred of these a day, that are spam, some in plain text, some in HTML. The plain text messages have been being downloaded, as I have been unable to find how to stop them. Could someone please advise me how to set up a filter using SQWebMail, from the client or user perspective, to filter out messages that have a blank subject field? Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
