EUDORA SPAM FILTER 14
Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc:) From Unknown Sender

This filter will identify all incoming email from unknown senders if the email is not explicitly To: or CC: to me. Generally this email is sent Bcc: and my user name doesn't even show up on it, leaving inquiring minds to wonder how it gets here in the first place...

Note* This is a highly effective filter but is not part of my main filter set any longer as it increases the chance of "false positive" hits when tested without a whitelist. Other good filter combinations have taken its place.

 

 

Match:	Incoming and Manual
Header	«Any Recipient»
Verb:	Does Not Contain
Value:	CECILW
Actions:	Transfer To Spam.mbx
	Make Label 4
	Skip Rest

The Header: value "Any Recipient"  checks both the "To:" and "Cc:" headers for the value to match. In this case, if my user name doesn't show up in one or the other, it's a Bcc:, and we already know it's not from anyone I know because it missed the passlist filter, sooooo it must be spam. Off to the Spam bin with ye!

Here's a sample header from a spam email caught by this filter:

From: Carl Miller <fgcfc_miller@hotmail.com>
To: Slot.Players@archer.fsr.net
Subject: Win Slot Jackpots Legally........ vja
Cc: <empty>
