Thanks...never taken the time to understand regex yet, but I found one of your posts on how to block them using a regex you posted.  Way cool!  That'll have a major effect on these types of emails.]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2004 19:36:00 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3943&title=feature-request#3943 <![CDATA[Feature Request : Fred, You need to use a RegEx...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3942&title=feature-request#3942 Author: Desperado

Fred,

You need to use a RegEx (Regular Expression)

I filter ALL "dotted IP" in an http link in email.  If you have a ligit site, put real DNS on it ... thats my attatude.  Also,  I have a lot of nice strong trees and some very good rope ... for the Spammers of course.

One common denominator in both scam emails I've received...ebay and paypal is that the REAL hyperlink points to a numeric IP address/~secure/ebay or /~secure/paypal perhaps that is what should be blacklisted?]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2004 16:52:00 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3939&title=feature-request#3939 <![CDATA[Feature Request : Ok...now I just got one for ebay.com...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3938&title=feature-request#3938 Author: Guests

Ok...now I just got one for ebay.com along the same lines ROFL.  Think the same method will work for it too?  Perhaps I should check with ebay.com.  This is nuts..lol.  I did a tracert of the IP address in the fake link on both of them and sent abuse notices to the ISP's being used and in ebay's case, I also sent a copy to ebay.com.  I'm sure even if it does get shutdown though it'll pop up somewhere else soon.

I have a word for describing these people along with spammers and spyware authors but I'll refrain from saying it on such a public forum. :-)

FYI,  I just recieved a response to a Buyer Complain I sent in to PayPal and their response from service@paypal.com did not have the SSL link you mentioned.  The only link in the email was to their unsecured Security Tips page.

Fred,

The idea popped into my head while I was in the shower of all places but I also spent some time on the phone with PayPal and thats where the idea solidified so don't feel too bad!

Thanks for the idea there!  I never thought about manipulating it that way by whitelisting the ssl URL and blacklisting the email addresses.  I can't believe I never thought of that one before...lol.]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2004 15:21:00 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3935&title=feature-request#3935 <![CDATA[Feature Request : Nice idea on the surface but .......]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=3932&PID=3933&title=feature-request#3933 Author: Desperado

Nice idea on the surface but .... once paypal supports SPF, the issue should reduce.  Also, my strategy, which is working so far is as follows:

In my Blocked From list:

*@paypal.com

in my KeywordWhiteList:

https://www.paypal.com

If there is an actual link to an SSL page at paypal, then I accept the message.   I have received no more paypal scams as a result and all my customers still get valid paypal email because ALL seem to have that link somewhere in the message body.

Just my input.
