Over the week-end, I populated the SpamAssassin local rules file with
email addresses that tend to get marked as SPAM. These are messages I
don't want to white list because I suspect they may be used by SPAMMERS.
Anyone else try this? What should I worry about and address?
BTW: I get a bunch of SPAM that seems to be harvested from Whois - our
old street address was Meramec - LOCAL__H_meramec is meant to deal with
that issue, not sure why, but I also get SPAM with the word manchester
on the subject line. The Meramec & Manchester spam are the only items
that consistently come thru our filter.
For the record, here's my
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
