Question about different versions of Outlook/express as indicated in the X-mailer line
I typically combine the following in a filter rule...
What application are you using to filter incoming mail, MM? -- ~PA Bear Mail Man wrote: Here's some recent examples. In the past 2 days, I've gotten about a dozen spams with the following versions of OE indicated on the X-Mailer line. I'm also listing the first and last time I received a valid (good) e-mail with the same OE version, as well as the cumulative number of spams in 2006 and 2007 with that OE version. X-Mailer contains 5.50.4133.2400 last good = June 2004, first good = Jan 2001 26 spams 2007, 64 spams 2006 X-Mailer contains 6.00.2600.0000 last good = May 2006, first good = Feb 2002 36 spams 2007, 183 spams 2006 X-Mailer contains 6.00.2800.1106 last good = June 2007, first good = sept 2002 147 spams 2007, 139 spams 2006 X-Mailer contains 6.00.2800.1158 last good = june 2007, first good = July 2003 21 spams 2007, 129 spams 2006 I typically combine the following in a filter rule: X-mailer is (or contains) X X-MimeOLE is (or contains) Y Content-Type contains Z For example: When X = Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3028 When Y = Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3028 When Z = multipart/related Then the only e-mails I have that match the above 3 criteria are 78 spams, all received on or after April 2007. The Content-Type rule (multipart/related) is very useful to differentiate between good mail and spam when combined with rules for specific OE versions.
