spamfilter

Filters I use against spam

I get an awfull lot of spam. The fact that my e-mail address is in the SANE-FAQ is probably one of the reasons. Therefore I have a strict SPAM-policy. Spamming results in exclusion of certain domains. Also, if you mail me, be carefull with the subject of the mail. My spam-policy is currently to throw away the following:

From Subjects Any words in the message Content/mime-types

.*com.hk
.*excite.com
.*girl
.*hinet
.*lycos
.*mail.com
.*mailasia
.*microsoft
.*seed.net
.*sina.com
.*slo.net
.*warwick
.*yahoo
hi
.*feel.*young
.*=A5
.*viagra
.[SsQq][TtuU][OoiI][PpTt].*moking
.* .*mortgage
.*vigrex
.*viagra
.*biz.remove
.*intercheap
.*med12z.com
.*a href.*pharm
Content-Type: (audio/x-|application).*;.*$?.*name=.*\.(scr|com|bat|pif|lnk|exe).*$
Content-Type:.*charset="GB2312"

This blocks about 95% of the unwanted mail.

From time to time I look in the big Spam heap to see if my rules need adjustment (f.e. because someone I like has made a bad judgement). More and more rules will migrate to the spam-filter at my provider.

Knowing this, you might still want to mail me. You can reach me at:
