Several effective filters

[john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (John Sievert)]

I thought I would share some of our most effective filters:

1.      From: *[nN]ewsletter|[Bb]argain|boing|topica|DIRECTCLICK|[oO]ffers|[pP]romotion|[Dd]eal|[pP]romo|advert|optin|freelotto* OR To: *[Bb]argain|boing|topica|DIRECTCLICK|[oO]ffers|[pP]romotion|[Dd]eal|[pP]romo|advert|optin|freelotto*  

2.      Src address: *bounce|boing*

These two filters are responsible for an enormous amount of trapped emails.  The first looks for suspicious stuff in the from or the to headers.  The second dumps anything that has bounce or boing in the server's name.  You can't believe how much this one does.

To each of these you can add a line that exempts certain source hosts or addresses that get falsely trapped.

Anyhow, YMMV, but maybe it helps.
