My goal is to lower the amount of email spam I get. If I get more than a
couple of spams from an ISP, I blacklist it and the spam from that ISP
stops. Ergo, my method works. And I do check the filter log from time to
time to set what's in there. Lots of SPAM from such lovely irresponsible
sites as JUNO.

Harry, I gotta say this again until you understand it:

Most of the From: addresses in spam are complete bull****. Either they
are completely false, or they are someone who has ****ed off the spam
industry. There are lots of legit folks on juno, yahoo, etc., so you
are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I used to do a variation on what you do. About once a month I'd
review recent spam, and blacklist the obvious IDs and ISPs, but
not blacklist the large ISPs (juno, yahoo, etc.) which were bound
to have a certain amount of "misuse". A year ago, this, plus a couple
of other simple rules were about 70 percent effective. By about
three months ago, it had dropped to 50% effective and the increasing
volume of spam (I get 150 a day) had greatly increased the amount
of work required to analyze it. I switched to Mozilla, and within a week
of training (which was less work than my analysis of that week would
have been), it was 95% effective.

Try Mozilla, turn on the spam filter, you'll like it, I guarantee it.

Does that include spam from such domain names as fantasticoffers.com,
doodlebug.com, quakefest.com, slamdunk.com, spyvalues.com (all real,
btw)...other domains that include the words sex, special, bargain,
mortgage, offer, bargain, bingo, casino...and at least 100 others?

I don't think so...'cuz spam from senders using these return addresses
IS bounce-able, which means they're real. But if it does, I don't
care...because, whether they sent THIS spam or not, they're still
spammers...and deserve to buried under so much returned mail that their
servers explode.

Yes, there are some domain names that you can figure out are
spamsters. Unfortunately, they are a quickly shrinking fraction. A year ago,
that worked. It doesn't work today. Here's an analysis of the From:
in the I've received since about 11/26. The number on the left of spams
I've received that purported to be From: the domain on the right.
1977 spams in a couple of weeks. Do the math -- black listing doesn't
work. But try the Mozilla spam filter -- it really does.

I have not relationship to Mozilla other than being a VERY happy user.

snipped list

Mozilla does help, so does ISP cooperation like Earthlink Webmail.
Nothing is 100%.

One important factor that most "ISP blockers" are neglecting is that
email addresses can be "spooged". In other words, spammers can send
email which appear to be from *any* email address. I have received
several fraud-mails, asking for "account and credit verification",
which DID NOT come from the address listed. Three of them were
dead-ringers for my ISP account. I forwarded them to my ISP, and they
reported spooged headers. Simply blocking a bunch of domains or ISPs
is like killing all the chickens because you got a rotten egg. You
might as well shut down all your email accounts or, better yet, turn
off the computer. They sure as hell can't get you then! )

Repaired my boat cover today. The damage was my own fault. 20" of
wet snow is a bit more than a cover can hold. Gotta' build a shed, or
get one of those "Suburbian Teepees".

Off-topic posting is a bit like farting in a house of worship.

To email me, remove the "OT-" from OT-wrecked.boats.noah.
....as you were. )

It's "spoofed" not "spooged"

Yes, there are some domain names that you can figure out are
spamsters. Unfortunately, they are a quickly shrinking fraction. A year ago,
that worked. It doesn't work today. Here's an analysis of the From:
in the I've received since about 11/26. The number on the left of spams
I've received that purported to be From: the domain on the right.
1977 spams in a couple of weeks. Do the math -- black listing doesn't
work. But try the Mozilla spam filter -- it really does.

snipped list

Mozilla does help, so does ISP cooperation like Earthlink Webmail.
Nothing is 100%.

One important factor that most "ISP blockers" are neglecting is that
email addresses can be "spooged". In other words, spammers can send
email which appear to be from *any* email address. I have received
several fraud-mails, asking for "account and credit verification",
which DID NOT come from the address listed. Three of them were
dead-ringers for my ISP account. I forwarded them to my ISP, and they
reported spooged headers. Simply blocking a bunch of domains or ISPs
is like killing all the chickens because you got a rotten egg. You
might as well shut down all your email accounts or, better yet, turn
off the computer. They sure as hell can't get you then! )

Repaired my boat cover today. The damage was my own fault. 20" of
wet snow is a bit more than a cover can hold. Gotta' build a shed, or
get one of those "Suburbian Teepees".

"Spooge" is that yukky stuff in the middle of the freeway that you want to avoid
when you're riding a motorcycle.

I guess it depends on where you are. My ISP referred to the problems
as "spooged", and their email was .
I don't care what they called it, they handled it.

I know, it's tough for us old farts to keep up.

Your list confirms my experience: yahoo in its various incarnations is
by far the most popular spoofed return address...I wonder why so many of
'em choose it over all the others on your list. I finally just set up
Mailwasher to delete ALL email with a yahoo return address.

The problem is that there are a LOT of legit folks on yahoo.
I've had 16 legit e-mails from yahoo residents in the last two days.
So just blocking everybody on yahoo doesn't work.

Again, try the Mozilla spam blocker. I've been a software nerd for
35 years, and I'm hard to impress. It impressed me.
