Improve the accuracy of your spam filter
I've also struggled with crafting a Mail.app filter
that will handle an assortment of "image based" SPAM I came up with something that seems to work well killing off JPG, PNG, GIF related junk... As they ALL seem to have the string "multipart/related" in their headers: Set "ALL Condtions" flag to TRUE and then have "Sender is not in my address book" AND Content-Type CONTAINS "multipart/related" This requires editing the HEADER_LIST tag in the RULES setup screen in the MAIL.app, and ADDING "multipart/related" as a choice on the menu Seems to work like a charm---I haven't had a drug-advert. or stock-report for several weeks now! Of course, if your "Aunt Agatha" is sending you JPG images of her cat :-), and she's NOT in your address-book they'll get trashed too ---but my mother used to tell me "don't worry about answering the phone during dinner---if it's important they'll call back later" same thing applies to most email! ((I already have enough pictures of her cat ALREADY on file..) ;-P --- |
