The Anti-SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM Page- What how about the spam, eggs, sausage and spam? That hasn't got much spam in it? - Eeeeehhhhh... - What do you mean, "eeeeeeh.." - I don't like Spam!! (in the background, "Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam") - SHUT UP!!! Bloody Vikings! This page is currently in a state of flux.. well, the scripts listed (or not) below are. When my old server bit the dust, the scripts got moved, but some of the backend mechanisms are different and I simply haven't updated them yet to show the old scripts in this new server world. To read my continued ranting about this growing problem, click here. Tools I use to combat Spam:Other interesting Spam Related Links:Some people have asked me about keyword filtering (blocking email based on words in the body of the message) and my response is typically that filtering of email based on words used in a context you didn't expect will occur and make your users very angry. However, an example that made me chuckle from the MIMEdefang users list compells me to post it: > Can I bounce be looking at keywords in the body without using spamassassin? Can you? Yes. Should you? Probably not. Blocking mail by keyword is considerably more likely to cause false positives than score-based filters. Some examples: State of Virginia. Breast cancer study. The city of Intercourse, Pennsylvania. News about assassinations. Jokes or news about certain highly-advertised drugs. Free software. A sextet. (Or sextuplets, or cities like Middlesex, Essex, Wessex, etc.) John Hancock You can probably think of more examples. Plus, of course, $P@/\/\/\/\ERZ can just D|5GUl$3 orr miiispel there wurdz 2 @V0|D the keyword filter. By the time you put together a sufficiently long list of variations you may as well be using something more elaborate. Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications <www.speed.net>
