Hello tbudl, I have given away an address which has obviously fallen into the wrong hands. Now I am getting spam because of this address. The craziest thing which is killing me, is my address never makes it to the to, cc or bcc field. So I can never pinpoint trying to kill it by filtering against this special address.
I am trying to filter against this single address by applying several different filters... nothing works! Something is wrong... I really don't understand the meaning of the "anywhere filter yes" as what does anywhere mean? anywhere outside the bat only? Cause anywhere never works for me... I even pasted the entire header section as this has gotten me so perplexed and upset. Forgive me but when something should be so simple, yet made so impossible to deal with, I can't help it but to feel overwhelmed and stupid... The address I need to filter against is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I cannot filter against anything else like keywords, strings, from, Original-recipient, etc... I need to only kill this mail simply because of one single email address. I need to kill it if it has [EMAIL PROTECTED] anywhere in it. The headers clearly have the address but no filter can ever find it... Is this the new super and stupid spam trick? I mean I am thinking the bat is so genious I should just say "anywhere" or "kludges" and this address should get caught... No, so sad... Can someone look these headers over and give me the faintest idea what I am dealing with here? More at the bottom of the headers incase you'd like to keep reading :| ======================================================================= Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from ms-mta-01 (ms-mta-01-smtp [10.10.4.5]) by ms-mss-02.tampabay.rr.com (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.12 (built Feb 13 2003)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:11:23 -0500 (EST) Received: from flmx04.mgw.rr.com (flmx03.mgw.rr.com [65.32.1.49]) by ms-mta-01.tampabay.rr.com (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.12 (built Feb 13 2003)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ORCPT [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:11:23 -0500 (EST) Received: from m1.dnsix.com (m1.dnsix.com [63.251.171.165]) by flmx04.mgw.rr.com (8.12.10/8.12.8) with ESMTP id hAD4Agbb015240 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:11:12 -0500 (EST) Received: from [24.226.147.24] (helo=courrier.cscoeur.ca) by m1.dnsix.com with esmtp (Exim 4.24) id 1AK8oS-0001dN-3P for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Wed, 12 Nov 2003 20:10:32 -0800 Received: from smtp0105.mail.yahoo.com ([200.95.87.18]) by courrier.cscoeur.ca with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:11:27 -0500 Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 04:10:21 +0000 (GMT) From: URGENT! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: $2,700 !
