Casual Articles - Stop Spam - 3 Filters I Use In Outlook
Starting Small Business Promotional Campaigns ple to contact me directly from the webpage resulted in a mass of spam from spammers exploiting sendmail flaws. Basically they would send spam automatically through my webmail form. As they never filled in a mail address it would appear to come from my old host(incidently if you are thinking of hosting with these guys - DON'T).So you’re starting a small business. You figured out what you wanted to sell or do and went out and got it all set up, had your DBA framed and on the wall and now all you need is for someone to buy your product or use your service. Right?How are you going to go about getting your public to know you even exist? Apply this rule after the message arrives -
where the Subject lin As the number of these filters grew I realized I needed a more serious weapon to fight with spam, but if you aren't quite ready to shell out money just yet, or if you'd prefer combat spam with the resources already at your disposal, then the important thing to do is create filters that catch spam, AND ONLY spam. Here' are some of the best ones I used: Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the Subject line contains 'SPAM' or 'failure notice' or 'delivery failed' or 'undeliverable' or '(Failure)' or 'Undelivered Mail' or 'Returned Mail: see transcript' Delete it This one was added after I went through an incredible phase of having mail getting bounced back to me. The spammer theory here is a returned message will automatically break through most spam filters, so they send messages to dead addresses using your email address as the reply-to address. When the mail server bounces the message it comes straight through your filters and back to you. Apply this rule after the message arrives - where the From line contains '@olympic.webitdomainz.com' delete it This one is fairly specific to me, but is interesting to anyone who uses form-mail. My first attempt at allowing people to contact me directly from the webpage resulted in a mass of spam from spammers exploiting sendmail flaws. Basically they would send spam automatically through my webmail form.

where the Subject lin Apply this rule after the message arrives - where the Subject line contains 'STOPSPAMNOW' move it to the STOPSPAMNOW folder I wasn't sure whether or not to add this one as it does give spammers a little window to attack me with. However it is a good example of how to 'whitelist' a message. You can use a word like 'STOPSPAMNOW' to pick up the STOPSPAMNOW newsletter, you can whitelist based on the senders email address or you can use a combination of both, which is preferable. Hopefully these few short tips will help you in setting up effective anti spam filters.
