I'm using a meta rule to recognise messages containing a spaces.live.com URI but that are not sent from that domain and a second to pick up similar spam sent via Sourceforge mailing lists: # # Spam containing space.live.com URI but not from there or sent on # a SourceForge mailing list. # header __MG_LSP1 From =~ /spaces\.live\.com/i uri __MG_LSP2 /^http:.{1,40}\.spaces\.live\.com/i header __MG_LSP3 List-Id =~ /lists\.sourceforge\.net/i describe MG_LIVESP Contains spaces.live.com URI meta MG_LIVESP (!__MG_LSP1 && __MG_LSP2) score MG_LIVESP 2.5 describe MG_LIVESF Via SourceForge but contains spaces.live.com URI meta MG_LIVESF (__MG_LSP2 && __MG_LSP3) score MG_LIVESF 10.0 These rules work for me and are firing on a reasonably significant amount of spam. Here are the stats for the last six days: Total mail 2968 messages Spam 198 messages MG_LIVESP 91 hits MG_LIVESF 22 hits Note1: My ISP is using greylisting. This traps about 90% of incoming spam. My spam ratio dropped from 70% to 7% when that was implemented. Note2: It seems that at least some mailing lists can't be arsed to run spam filters - the UK LUG list and the Wine-users list are both carrying similar amounts of spam to SourceForge. Martin
