EUDORA SPAM FILTER 22
Adult HTTP Links

Catches: Email containing HTTP links followed anywhere by the words "sex" or "adult", or the word "Lolitas"

Example of an email link this filter will catch:
" http://sexyadultpage.net/mblmath/index.htm "

This filter will also catch pages that have any HTTP links and either the word (or part of a word) "sex" or "adult"  in other, later parts of the email unrelated to the HTTP.

 

Match: Incoming and Manual
Header «Body»
Verb: regexp (case insensitive)
Value: HTTP.*(SEX|ADULT)|LOLITAS
Actions: Transfer To Spam.mbx
   Make Label 7
  Make Priority Lowest
  Skip Rest

Break it down:

This filter looks in the body of the email for any occurrence of "HTTP", followed anywhere by either "sex" or "adult", so will find any links with either word in it or anywhere after it in the email body. It also will find the word "Lolitas anywhere in the body of the email.
