Hello Joanne,
I am not really sure what you meant by
kibitz the SARE process
Sorry, English is not my native language and some words don't go together.
If you mean I would share my rules? I don't mind at all. But first I would
like to rewrite them as I mentioned in my previous email, so rules that were
not caught for the last month would not be included (I've been collecting
spam for a month). I also said that they are not perfect and can slow down
the process of emails on a heavy mail server. Our mail server is a busy
server and when we are really hit with spam... that is why I am looking
into redoing and optimizing them as fast as possible :-)
Most of them contain links, also phrases and misspells inside the message
and misspells on subjects.
Irina
