I just started using SpamAssassin, and it's real cool. Looking through the rules, there's a some rules I've found useful in my home grown spam filter, that might also be useful in SA.
- In rule LIMITED_TIME_ONLY, you might want to also search for "Limited Time Offer". - Lots of prhases I've seen in spam: * This is the real thing * there is no catch * worked for me * you can earn * read this email to the end * AS SEEN ON NATIONAL * This message is not intended for residents of XYZ * No one is turned down * Confidentiality assured * home based/Working From Home/work from home * INCOME OPPORTUNITY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY * Accept credit card * FINANCIAL FREEDOM * no obligation * while you sleep * special offer * Serious Enqueries Only/Serious Inquiries Only * 100% free * 100% natural * You wont be dissapointed * independent affiliate * ACT NOW! * money back guarantee * order now * risk free * $$$ - "Please read" has shown up in the subject field of a lot of spam I've gotten. - "Don't delete this" or "do not delete" has also appeared in a lot of my spam. - Any email containing "weight" or "guaranteed" in the subject has always been spam. Also subjects containing "cellular", "wholesale", "make $", "free $", "make money", and "credit card". - Most email with "free" in the subject have been spam. - Mail that's from domains .org, .edu., .gov and .mil are unlikely to be spam. -- http://dmoz.org | Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a | minute, but light him on fire, and he'll be The world's largest human edited | warm for the rest of his life. edited web directory directory | ICQ: 132152059 _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
