Thanks very much to David for his help and Sean for descriptions. I am
using this recipe:
:0:
* ^From: anonymous(_at_)immuneweb(_dot_)org
* B ?? (Ad-Placer|\

$HOME/spambouncer/blocked/classifieds
Amazingly enough, so far this short list of keywords seems to be catching
*all* of the spam with zero false positives (except for a couple every day
which are blank submissions, just a header; I don't think they're errors
cause they're not followed up by real ones and because even errors have
text in the box). It's such a relief to get that out of my inbox.
I'll give it another week to finetune the recipe and then into the bit
bucket it goes.
While I appreciate the good will of people like Sean and Jake, doing
something involving heavy programing with random graphics, encoding, and
etc is not what I was looking for. I got nothing but those suggestions on
another list I asked on. I specicially went to a procmail list because I
wanted a procmail solution. Unless someone wants to donate his/her
programming time to me, it's out of my ability range. :-)
But the procmail solution is working so well that I don't feel the need for
anything else.
Sean asked if I had "'tweaked' the message headers." No, I copied them as
is. Other than adding a couple carriage returns to the ad text for
readability, I made no changes and I left out no lines. The example I gave
was definately one of the spams. I think the spammers are using software
that goes through my web form, as opposed to emailing me direct with
similar output.
Thanks all,
Cyndi
