Re: [Fwd: Re: filter question]

Alessio,

Also note, the "File Name" type in a body_filter refers to using a text file with reg.expression phrases vs. using the web form to input the same text.

It is not a "file attachment" specification.

That's the "rub" with filtering -- you can get aggressive and watch for false positives or go less aggressive and live with more SPAM.

You need to pick and choose your "body_filter text" carefully, because it will filter the entire body text. Ditto with header_filters.

If you want to filter and are stressed over false positives I recommend using RBL_filters and the "spam_assassin" plug-in -- this setup will do significant filtering with nil false positives.

Elton

P.S. - if you don't want the "blue pill" to filter when discussed on this board (or any specific domain to filter) -- you can exclude such in the Src.Addr section, ie:
Src.Addr  *yourdomain.com        NOT AND
Src.Addr  *tenon.com             NOT AND
Src.Addr  *someotherdomain.com   NOT
Body
----
Text    *thisphrase|Thisphrase|THISPHRASE*    OR
Text    *thatphrase|Thatphrase|THATPHRASE*

or am I wrong?
You appear to have the second and third line set to "File Name" --  Change
to "Text".

ok, now my filter is working well with:

Body: Text = **

but it completely ignores the second line which is:
Body: File Name = *.exe|.scr|.bin|.pp|.vba|.pif*
(Opcode is OR)
and the third line which is:
Body: File Name = *.scr*
(Opcode is OR)
so any message containing a .scr attachment goes straight to
destination, no
filtering at all, w h y ?
please help

PS: is there a DISCUSSION FORUM fro PO?
