Rumagging around un-spamming sites, I found two sites which maintain all
needed procmail entries for spam. Both sites must cope with spam themselves,
then offer their procmail code for use via
INCLUDERC=...
within .procmailrc. These files appear to weekly change as spam headers
change, saving me from daily adding to .procmail.
The first site is
http://www.best.com/~ariel/nospam/
for which the primary addition to .procmailrc would be
INCLUDERC=.../spam.rc
The second site is http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam
, which offers an example .procmailrc
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/samples/Main,
with the following INCLUDERC=... to uncomment out of the above .procmailrc,
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam/tag.html
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam/tag-radical.html,
the latter using the following INCLUDERC=... files
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam/tag-jdfalk-cy
berpromo.html
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam/tag-jdfalk-ll
v.html
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/spam/tag-jdfalk-na
ncynet.html
I will try the second set of procmail files above. I could also try using a
non-procmail list, one of addresses only within procmail.
Since I have seen little in this procmail mail list about sites like
http://www.best.com and http://alcor.concordia.ca, I wonder if this is a
reasonable approach to catch spam. Are pre-prepared procmail files from these
two sites reasonable, thorough, up-to-date for removing spam?
