EUDORA SPAM FILTER 09
My User_Name@Bogus.Domains
 

Finds: email addressed to my user name but the wrong domains

For some reason, my personal Internet Service Provider forwards all email to me if it's addressed to my username, even though it's addressed to one of their many other domains. What's up with that?  And what makes all those spammer idjuts think that anyone's home at my_user_name@those_other_domains.com? I don't know; but I don't spend any time worrying about it, I simply filter out every email that makes any reference to me@wrong_domains.com, since those messages are 100% spam.

 

 

Match:	Incoming and Manual
Header	«Any Header»
Verb:	regexp (case insensitive)
Value:	CECILW@(ASOTIN|MOSCOW|LEWISTON|CLARKSTON)\.COM (these are all bogus, but my ISP forwards them to me anyway, and they're 100% spam)
Actions:	Transfer To Spam.mbx
	Make Label 1
	Make Priority Normal
	Skip Rest

This filter looks for my username "cecilw" followed by the wrong domains @asotin.com  or @moscow.com or @lewiston.com or @clarkston.com.   I've used the parenthesis ( ) to group together the domain names to make the line more compact. Without the parenthesis it looks like this:

cecilw@asotin\.com|cecilw@moscow\.com|cecilw@lewiston\.com|cecilw@clarkston\.com

The "Make Label" and "Make Priority" Actions to add a color and a priority tag are optional, but make it easy to know at a glance which messages in the spam mailbox were nabbed by this filter.
