An AppleScript rule to check Mail against blackhole lists
The only problem I see with this hint is those "blacklist" services and open relay lists. They are not always accurate and impossible to get your up removed from. A good example. I have my own mailserver running on our LAN, its on a cable connection (yeah I know...) and the because so many people on these cable services have poorly configured mailserver, don't know what they are doing or in general ar just idiots (sorry - venting) - those blacklists and open relay lists include WHOLE BLOCKS of IP's owned by cable companies. So because of the ills of many, I am blacklisted. This is clearly evident when you try to send something to someone on Earthlink - they use the blacklist services and will return mail undelivered if you try to send to someone on Earthling. If you must use spam control - I recommend taking a whitelisting strategy over blacklisting. I recommend setting up TMDA - its a radical approach to spam control - but very effective. TMDA uses whitelisting and tagged messages. From the TMDA site:
An AppleScript rule to check Mail against blackhole lists
The posted AppleScript instructions are for a whitelist based system. After you run the email through the whitelist you got to do something with the stuff that does not match the whitelist. You either trash it, look it up in a black list, or send a challenge response (the latter can be implemented directly in OS X Mail or Eudora just using the filters).
