Korean Spam
colin
mails with Chinese / Korean characters, or even blocking everything
from Korea!
I have set up over 200! separate rules and have a blocked senders list
of over 400! and still the crap keeps coming. PS the rules do not seem
to work in Outlok Express, is that normal?

I use the DOS and WIN ASCII Extended Character Sets to filter out
several commonly occuring characters in both the From and Subject
fields. This has been effective in blocking virtually all Asian spam.
For DOS examples, hold down the Alt key while typing the decimal code
on the numeric key pad as:
253 ²
225 ß
168 ¿
For WIN examples, hold down the Alt key and type 0 first as:
0188 ¼
0228 ä
0163 £
You can find the ASCII sets here:

Aside from the rough and ready "filter an arbitrary set of characters
that is unlikely to, but possibly may, show up in ordinary Email
Subject: headers" approach, *and* if you know you will never need to
receive Emails from Korea, most of the Korean spam I've received of
late could be filtered by blocking messages with a
charset="ks_c_5601-1987"
argument in their MIME headers (if your Email program can filter on
arbitrary strings in the message's full headers).

lists etc. it has stopped _all_ the email spam I once got. It is very
effective and easy to setup. It also was the best of all the spam
stopper apps I tried and as well looks like a professional grade
application....

Just like all the other spam removal tools it's no good on HTTP accounts.
luckily my POP3 accounts haven't been spammed yet. :o)

the spam I get... unfortunately my main newsgroup host won't let us use fake
or altered email addresses. 37 spams today. I seem to spend more time
forwarding them to ab...@xxx.com than I do actually reading 'real' mail!

it provides a nice interface but is it really necessary?
A very easy thing to do is anytime you get a spam add it to your blocked
senders list.
This can get a little tiresome so I set up a filter for mail that is not
specifically addressed to me.
In Outlook Express go to Tools, Message Rules, Mail and click the New
button.
In the conditions box select Where the to line contains people, then in the
bottom box click the contains people and set it to your address, click add
then click the Options button and select Message does not contain people
below.
In the Actions box select Move it to the specified folder and click in the
bottom box and set the folder to Deleted Items. Then name the rule
something like spam filter or name filter.
This catches about 80% of the spam for me but it also catches a few mail
lists I subscribe to. So I set up another rule where I select Where the
from line contains and list those items and select to stop processing rules.
Make sure this is before the spam rule so it gets processed first! (select
the rule and use the move up and move down buttons)

Yeah, I use mail washer which does the same thing as this program. I
setup a filter to block *@*.kr and *@*.jp and it also blocks MAPS RBL
blacklisted addresses. I find the program to be a bit buggy (Grid out
of index and it locks up when I get a message, but restarting the
program fixes that), but it's worth the spam it stops.

Hope this helps. (And for the description, I should imagine you just
put in ".jp" or ".kr"........without the quotes and with the period.

Set up a rule that automatically deletes if the sender's address contains
either '.kr' or '.jp'; that may actually be two rules, one for each
string.
