Spam blocking

[andysocial]

Amazing what blocking just a few domains does to my spam load.

My killfile now consists of the following lines, and it has reduced my spam load from 10 an hour to about 1.
$header_from: begins "passionup"
$header_from: contains "@opti10.com"
$header_from: contains "@opti7.com"
$header_from: contains "customoffers"
$header_from: contains "dandyoffers"
$header_from: contains "emailoffer"
$header_from: contains "lovelymailer.com"
$header_from: contains "opmnetwork.net"
$header_from: contains "opt4email.com"
$header_from: contains "rapid-e.net"
$header_from: contains "rewardemail.com"
$header_from: contains "traklists.com"
$header_from: contains "yourbigvote.com"
$header_from: contains "offercheck.com"
$header_from: contains "offerpromo.com"
$header_from: contains "greatmarketing.us"

Overlycute and Lovelymailer are, in fact, not cute and not lovely. UGH.

And Dandy Offers rarely are dandy. :-)

Don't forget Freelotto and iWon....I blocked those two, and that dropped MY spam load down a huge amount. Not only are they each huge spam offenders, but those assholes sell their lists. }-(

The email blocker on my host supports regular expressions (which are Greek to me), "starts with," "contains," and "is equal to" for the filters.

I could enable SpamAssassin, but that thing requires about a month of tweaking to get it to stop reformatting all my mailing list stuff. I don't think Lockergnome is a spammer, oh infallible SpamAssassin. :-)
