However, changing the reject setting doesn't come into effect real-time - the configuration is distributed to the MXes every six minutes (if I recall correctly). That also applies to the white list. That was probably the reason it didn't work for you the first time around - there is no other obvious one I can think of, at least. |

Thanks for posting what the spam rejection message looks like. I hadn't seen it yet.
However, the filters shouldn't have anything to do with why you weren't getting the rejection message before. According to Linpro and Runbox, SPAM rejection takes place while the message is being received so that it is never actually accepted by the Runbox mail servers. Since it is never really delivered I don't think it can ever be processed by the filters. At least this is my understanding. Maybe they were still playing around with getting it working again while you were playing around with the filters. Regards, Rich |

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-99.0 required=5.0 tests=CLICK_BELOW, HTML_60_70, HTML_FONTCOLOR_BLUE, HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_TAG_BALANCE_HTML, NO_REAL_NAME, USER_IN_WHITELIST So it's that last entry in the X-Spam-Status flag that tells you the sender is in the whitelist, and it adds a -100 (negative one hundred) to the spam score. Thus my mother would have to REALLY send me a lousy piece of mail for it to add up to a plus five total. When you look in that flag, do you then see the USER_IN_WHITELIST text? --Jason |

Re: How To Improve SPAM Filtering using Runbox Filters

I started using Rich's method and (shockingly) spam seems to have disappeared. This worries me somewhat (the fear of false positives) |

Order: -6 Messages where: "Header" "contains" "X-Spam-Level: ******" will be "save to folder" "spam.level6" Order: -5 Messages where: "Header" "contains" "X-Spam-Level: *****" will be "save to folder" "spam.level5" Order: -4 Messages where: "Header" "contains" "X-Spam-Level: ****" will be "save to folder" "spam.level4" Order: -3 Messages where: "Header" "contains" "X-Spam-Level: ***" will be "save to folder" "spam.level3" My Order values are actually different (lower) because of other filters I have but this ordering should work fine. I wanted to see how the scoring of spam broke down into the different levels. On rare occasions I might get a non-spam at level 3 or 4. Regards, Rich |

Rich,
Thanks for the info. Do you filter any pop retrieved account email into specific folders (i.e. for personalities). If so, how do you deal with spam (low threshold) slipping through the spam filters into the account. I have all of my pop account specific folders set at "0". .... that is unless your set up above intends to do this very thing ... Lastly, don't you find the NotinWhitelist system to be a little annoying. It certainly protects the Inbox, but I suppose that you'll have quite a whitelist built up over time. It would be nice to somehow automate the process |

I don't really POP from other sources much anymore. I use my own domains now so I just redirect/forward those to my proper accounts (i.e. Runbox).
I don't really have to do much with my White List because I use my Runbox Toolbar 2. I just click on the "Add To Whitelist" when I need to add an address. Since the White List is only good for checking "From" addresses I still have to add filters for Groups/Listservs that pass along the senders "From" address. Obvisously I don't want to add every Group/Listserv member to my White List. It would be nice to have the option to say "use my addressbook as a white list". I suppose I could provide a manual option on the Runbox Toolbar to copy all addressbook addresses to the white list. Is that the kind of automation you were thinking of or did you have something else in mind? Regards Rich |

Rich,
Do you simply use forwarding for your domains, or do you havae proper email accounts (pop3 or imap)? Why do you prefer forwarding to pop retrieval into Runbox. All of my domains have proper accounts/pop3/imap, but I've used Runbox as a backup of sorts. I could just forward vs. pop retrieve. Do you find any benefit to this approach? By automating I meant an automatic add to whitelist if you "rescue" an email from a NotInWhiteList folder, or the ability to whitelist a number of emails at one time. Lastly, whether forwarded or retrieved are you filtering into account specific folders, and if so, how is your anti-spam filter strategy being affected? |

Also, I would say that approximately 99.999999999% of all my spam is sent directly to my Runbox address. Because of that I don't really use that address for valid email anymore. I added a filter to move email with that address in the header to a spam folder. All my domains/aliases forward to the Runbox US or NO domains instead. This has eliminated a lot of those short spams that were coming in with scores of 1 and 0. This isn't a solution that everyone can use but it has been working for me. One more thing. Since I do have my own domains I can create many usernames. My experience so far is that long usernames with dashes (-), dots (.) and underscores (_) don't seem to get spam. At least mine haven't. So I use names like somesite.com-newsletter-maybe_another_keyord@my-domain-name.com That way I will know where they got the address from if I do get spam. Plus I can setup filters to sort based on keywords in the address. Does that address your question? Regards, Rich |
