discovered an effective rule for separating SPAM from the rest of my
e-mail. Just substitute your username for `gord' in the line below:
# Anything which is not addressed to me is probably SPAM.
:0:
* !^TO.*gord
mail.spam.spool
My "spamcheck" recipes give mail explicitly addressed to me a slight
"not spam" weight.
-----
# bias mail explicitly to me slightly against being spam
SPAMCHECK_TOME_REGEXP=${SPAMCHECK_TOME_REGEXP:-$LOGNAME}
:0
* $^TO\/${SPAMCHECK_TOME_REGEXP}
{
spamcheck_contribution=${SPAMCHECK_TOME_SCORE:-"-$SPAMCHECK_20"}
spamcheck_reason="TOME - explicit recipient: $MATCH"
spamcheck_rcpath=$_
INCLUDERC=$SPAMCHECK_RCDIR/reason.rc
}
# conversely, mail that isn't to me might be SPAM; this is going to
# depend on how much legitimate BCC: mail you get
:0
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* $!^TO${SPAMCHECK_TOME_REGEXP}
{
spamcheck_contribution=${SPAMCHECK_NOTTOME_SCORE:-$SPAMCHECK_10}
spamcheck_reason="NOTTOME - no recipient matched $SPAMCHECK_TOME_REGEXP"
spamcheck_rcpath=$_
INCLUDERC=$SPAMCHECK_RCDIR/reason.rc
}
