Many thanks to Matt for this, and to many others for submitting rules which have provided us all with improved spam filtering. I had a look at evilnumbers.cf, and expect to use it, though with the following change (which I hope someone will scream at me very loudly if they expect it will have an adverse effect on these rules effectiveness: Matt wrote in evilnumbers.cf: # changed all hyphens in phone numbers to (\s|-|\.) I changed all occurrences (in my own copy, of course) of '(\s|-|\.)' to '[\s\-\.]+', in an effort to ensure that any number of any combination of those characters could not be used to obfuscate a known evil number. For example, I want to match '888 - 222 - 3456', rather than only '888-222-3456'. Anybody see anything wrong with that idea? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems analyst / Postmaster Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
