Message Rule Question
Lately, every day I get an email whose address is from a different bogus
sender. the subject is blank, as is the message body. Each contains a pdf attachment which is a stock pump and dump recommendation written in funny text to avoid automatic spam filtering. Is there a way to use OE6 message rules & spam filtering to act only on messages with blank subjects or message text? -- PT |
Message Rule Question
For Blank Subject:
Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words Box 2 - Delete it from server, or Delete It and Stop processing more rules to send it to Deleted Items. Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time* a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Click: Options and change to: Does not contain.... {This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will not be rejected}. For Blank From: See rule #1, and For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 he http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the action, choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to be download for the rule to realize the message body is blank.
