spam filtering for dummies

2000-02-05 02:42:39
Hi!
I am new to the list, new to procmail, and I really don't know all that
much about UNIX either.  So although I've tried reading all sorts of FAQs,
mans, and other such things, mostly what has happened is that I have
gotten even more confused than I already was.
 
I really don't want to do anything all that complex, but I could really
use some help please!
 
What I want to do is filter out most of my incoming spam from repeat
spammers.
 
What I currently have in my .procmailrc file is a whole bunch of recipes
that look pretty much like this:

:0
* ^From:(_dot_)*(_at_)mailexcite(_dot_)com
$HOME/mail/filtered
 
Obviously, though, this recipe only looks at the "From" line.  What I
would like to do is have a recipe that searches the entire header for the
given search string.
 
Also, it would be nice if I could have one recipe that searches for all of
the search strings instead of having a separate recipe for each one (which
makes for a pretty long .procmailrc file).

If someone could please help me with this project, I'd really appreciate
it.
 
Thanks!
