SPAMMER Blacklist
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. -- Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet Silicon Valley: STILL the best day job in the world.

Attacking the from field is not the way to go, you must go for the money. 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. -- Email sent to is never read. |

Peggie, that wouldn't work. The spamsters have taken to infecting peoples
computers with a virus that turns the computer into a very quiet robot for the spamsters. That allows them to send huge volumes of individual e-mails. A year and a half ago, a simple rule that said "if I'm not in the "to:" list and it's not from a few mailing lists I'm on, IT'S SPAM" was pretty effective. It's very ineffective now. Furthermore, if it's sent BCC, the ISP doesn't get to see the other senders and can't count them. -- Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet Silicon Valley: STILL the best day job in the world. "Peggie Hall" wrote in message ... The real solution IMO would be to require ISPs to block all incoming email to more than 10 addresses from the same sender. |

Actually, what's more likely is that some redneck is going to get
****ed off at what was sent to his kid, and track the SOB down and blow him away. I don't agree with doing this, but I think it's highly likely to happen. -- Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet Silicon Valley: STILL the best day job in the world. "Peter W.

They already do something like that. The result is "spam guns" that send spam in batches that don't trigger those limits. I support the death penalty for spammers. Steal six million minutes from as many individuals and I assert that society has the right to exact those six million minutes from the life of the spammer. Two or three batches and it's a death penalty. |

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. 210 yahoo.com 95 hotmail.com 87 msn.com 74 aol.com 33 co.uk 27 garlic.com 19 com.tw 18 bluerocketonline.com 18 juno.com 16

The technology exists, and is ALREADY developed. The problem is that it
costs (except for Mozilla). You may well be able to buy the support from your ISP. One vendor to the ISPs is Brightmail (my employer filters mail from the internet with it, and it works pretty well.) I could pay my ISP $10 per month and they would filter it with Brightmail or something similar, but the FREE filter built into Mozilla works REALLY well. -- Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet Silicon Valley: STILL the best day job in the world.

K9 is a great spamfilter, actually learns what you consider spam and you
considers good email. It goes way beyond white and black lists. http://www.keir.net/k9.html the only negative is it does not work with Hotmail and Yahoo. "Chuck Tribolet" wrote in message ...
