Is it just me or is everyone getting a bunch of this 'Get Your Diploma' spam thats getting right by SFI. My spamassassin filter I have behind SFI is stopping it before my customers see it, but I have no way to getting that info back into SFI. Anyone have a good way of stopping it within SF? ------------- http://www.webguyz.net |

I am also getting a large number of this spam, as well as the 'stock options' spam. Have no idea how to block it, any suggestions? |

WebGuyz, I have some trouble with diploma emails too. But a large number of them try to trick you out by making minor variances of the same email from time to time, e.g.: #1: Get your dipl oma in six weeks! #2: Get your di ploma in six weeks! #3: Get your diplo ma in six weeks! I use RegEx to catch these annoying variances - let me know if you'd like a sample. |

JBS, I have some good success in blocking stock emails by using these criteria for keyword filters:
The stock symbol, however, can very quite a bit, e.g. #1 subject: ACME is up! #1 subject: A C M E is up! #1 subject: A-C-M-E is up! And I find that several stocks have a ".pk" suffix, for some reason: QVBF.PK J M D O . P K I tend to need RegEX keywords to block stock symbols, but plain keywords to block company names. Let me know if you'd like me to PM some such RegEx that I use. Stephen |

Please share. My regex knowledge sucks and I let my 2nd filter (spamassassin) catch these before my customers ever see them but I'm tired of seeing them. ------------- http://www.webguyz.net |

Sure thing, I've PM'd my own technique. (You never know who's watching)  -Stephen |
