Hi bts8(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com! I'm a UNIX administrator and I like to fight
spam!
I've been using the following recipe to filter out mail that is not
specifically addressed to me:
:0:
* !^(To|cc|bcc):(.*[^a-z])?bts8\(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com
^^^
The BCC header isn't necessary, as it gets cut out by the sending
system's MTA.
This seems to work OK for mail originating outside of netcom but for some
reason, mail that originates on netcom gets matched by this recipe. Can
someone help me improve this? I think this may have something to do with
the fact that if I send a message to someone on netcom, I only have to
put their username. The mail system adds the "@netcom.com" part for
me. Thanks.
You are correct, if root(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com send you a message, it
will
say "From: root" with no domain name following the user name. You coudl
set up a recipe like:
:0:
* !^(To|cc):(.*[^a-z])?bts8\(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com
* !^(To|cc):.*bts8$
not-to-me
I obviously changed the expression in the second line, it should
work fine.
Regards,
