SpamAssassin already has 2,133 domains listed via freemail_domain, so you shouldn't need to add that part for any domain. If you do, you should file a bug to get it added. The rule that goes with this is FREEMAIL_FROM, which has a default score of 0.001 (basically nothing), because it hits 21.6% of non-spam (11.4% of spam). But if you want it to actually do anything, you'd need to increase the score via something like: score FREEMAIL_FROM 1 But these scores are chosen by some pretty extensive real world data analysis: http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20110321-r1083702-n/FREEMAIL_FROM/detail It looks like the way to just penalize a single domain would be: blacklist_from *@yahoo.com score USER_IN_BLACKLIST 1 By default it has a score of 100, which would usually block everything. I was actually doing something with a similar effect, to hotmail for a while. I recently noticed yahoo is much worse, I think this graph deserves its own post: http://www.chaosreigns.com/dnswl/dnswlabusehistory.svg On 04/04, David wrote: > The emails to which I refer where sent by email accounts stolen by > viruses on computers running Windows. I had always assumed the spammers just registered the accounts directly. Why do you think they were stolen, by viruses or otherwise? -- "Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage--and then is heard no more.
