Spam filtering problem
Hello All,
I am having some trouble filtering certain types of spam. These spams appear to be aimed specifically at the Fastmail realm and contain common names in the address list. I have the reject filter set as: header :contains ["X-Spam"] "high" And the Junk Mail folder rule: header :contains ["X-Spam"] "spam" and my filtering option is set to Aggressive - (5), but yet things like this are getting through: X-Spam-score: 19.6 X-Spam-hits: DATE_IN_PAST_03_06, FORGED_MUA_EUDORA, FOR_FREE, HTML_10_20, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HTML_NO_CHARSET, MIME_HTML_ONLY, MISSING_MIMEOLE, MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME, RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET, RCVD_IN_NJABL, RCVD_IN_RFCI, RCVD_IN_UNCONFIRMED_DSBL, SORTED_RECIPS, SUBJ_HAS_SPACES, UPPERCASE_25_50, X_PRIORITY_HIGH I has a 19.6 score and is definitely spam, but there is no X-Spam header. Only the two that I have listed. Does anyone have any cleaver solutions to help me get rid of these annoying emails? I receive about 10 a day. It was much higher, but most of them were addressed to my username at Inbox.com. I have set that to reject and the email count has gone down. Thanks |

Re: Spam filtering problem

The solution is to filter spam using spam-score directly. FastMail has announced today that a new type of rule for easier spam handling will be available soon, soo you might as well wait a few weeks instead of trying to learn to filter by numeric comparisons to spam-score... |
