As I am sitting at my pc, I noticed in the log windo that your email was
plonked in my spam box. We had a discussion here about this subject not
long ago so you might have a look in the archives.
Both of the recipes I'm using caught your mail so perhaps I am being a bit
too strict. It is difficult to use spam recipes that don't trap emails
discussing spam recipes. This email has four start of comment sequences
so I am going to need it to be at least 560 characters long and 80 words
long to get through my own defenses ....
Maybe the "5 or more" is a better approach but if I had chosen "4 or more"
I would have still caught your email. 10 or more would be more
reasonable? Or maybe 1 or more? I've tried to scale my trap to the size
of the message.
# html comments
# 5% of chars are html comment delimiters
# 7 chars in delimiter <!--xx yyy -->
:0 B
* -1^1 .
* 140^1 ()<!--
{
# action stuff here
and
# html comments
# Less than 20 words for each comment
:0 B
* -1^1 ([ ]|$)[^ ]
* 20^1 ()<!--
{
# action stuff here
