Era warned me this would eventually happen. Goodnet is using Procmail
3.10. I have no control over what version they use. It is an unsupported
product at Goodnet.
The recipe below gets rid of spam of the form of:
From: 123456(_at_)aol(_dot_)com (Blah Blah)
:0
* ^From: [0-9]+@
/dev/null
But it doesn't work against spam of the form:
From: "Blah Blah" <123456(_at_)aol(_dot_)com>
What recipe should I use? See spam headers below. The X-UIDL header was
added by Goodnet's POP3 server. It's legitimate.
Will this work:
* ^From:.*[0-9]+@
Or will this delete email unintentionally? I am quite willing to delete
all email that contains all-numerics in the account name. But I don't want
to do something stupid.
Er, uh, I subscribe to this list in digest format, and it doesn't seem to
be arriving every day. I don't know what is happening. If you see this
and reply, please also email me.
